Harvey Andrews - Golden Pennies
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
C Am Dm G
[Verse 1]
C Am
Golden pennies, see them shining in the sun
Dm F G
Golden pennies, lying there for anyone
C Am
Pan the river, bless the waters as they run
Dm F G
For golden pennies and the freedom that you’ve won
[Verse 2]
C Am
There’s adventure waiting in this promised land
Dm F G
Leave old England, take the future in your hand
C Am
Leave your troubles on that cold and distant shore
Dm F G
Here’s Australia, with golden pennies by the score
F C Dm C
Golden pennies
[Chorus]
F G Em A
It’s hard on a woman when she gets out here
Dm G C
It’s hard on a woman, I know
F G Em A7
But there’s something special ‘bout the new frontier
Dm F G
And it takes someone special to go
[Verse 3]
C Am
Will you have me, will you be a poor man’s bride?
Dm F G
Will you love me, will you stay here by my side?
C Am
And build a country with our hope and with our pride
Dm F G
I won’t fail you, though there’s others who have tried
C
For golden pennies
[Instrumental]
C Am Dm F G C Am Dm F G
[Chorus]
F G Em A
It’s hard on a woman when she gets out here
Dm G C
It’s hard on a woman, I know
F G Em A7
But there’s something special ‘bout the new frontier
Dm F G
And it takes someone special to go
[Verse 4]
C Am
Will you have me, will you be a poor man’s bride?
Dm F G
Will you love me, will you stay here by my side?
C Am
And build a country with our hope and with our pride
Dm F G
I won’t fail you, though there’s others who have tried
C
For golden pennies
