D

I prayed to the Lord
To the Lord "Won't you
B

Or maybe he was taken

Verse 8

Verse 10
E
Well a round- a- bout here it kinda

I said, "Fellas give us a big

A Billinugel special
burger with the works,
Because u know fellas,
B
ya never gonna believe this."

And ya know what it's like
Up around the Northern rivers

Those windin' roads just
give me the shivers,
