Anthony John Clarke - Banjo Antarctica
Capo 1

[Intro]
F Bb Db F

[Verse 1]
C
We're headed for a real cold winter
Bb F
Come in and close the door
Bb F
You know too well that the ship set sail
C
We won't be together anymore

[Verse 2]
F C
I want to hear the gulls on the southern seas
Bb F
I want to make the rafters roar
Bb F
And I'll trade this five-string banjo
C F
For tobacco and a (?cuppy soar?)

[Verse 3]
C
My grandfather showed me nothing
Bb F
My father showed me even less
Bb F
I tried to live my life as a good man
C
Tried to do my level best

[Verse 4]
F C
But when the ice came round and the chips were down
Bb F
I always knew my south from west
Bb F
And I'll trade this five-string banjo
C F
For a woman and a reindeer vest

[Interlude]
F Bb Db F

[Verse 5]
C
In eighteen forty-six we boarded ships
Bb F Bb
Found New York and learnt new tricks
