1. Hey, did you ever wake up in the morning,
D
on
the wrong side of the bed ?
E
A bit confused and yawning,
A
you
go straight out the back to your shed.
A D
Yeah, all Australian boys need
a shed,
E
a
place where he can go, somewhere to clear his head.
A
D
To think about the things his
woman said,
E
A
yeah,
all Australian boys need a shed.
A
D
2. A joint to learn to read an' write, to work
on his bike at night,
E
to
grow up as he likes, to grow anything under lights.
A D
A place to keep his tools,
nuts and bolts and drills,
E
A
to
hang a hide, to hide the dry or hang to pay the bills.
A D
3. Well, my old shed, she leaks a bit, the roof is caving in,
E
A
nothing
that a bloke can't fix with a few spare sheets of tin.
A D
The beams are old telegraph poles, white ants have eaten them,
E A
she
creaks and sways on windy days and leans towards the sound.
A
D - E - A
+ Yeah, all Australian boys need a shed.

4. At the back of the shed where the dogs are fed,
D
near
last years bails of lucern,
E
sticky
tall green leaves came up from thrown out seeds.
A D
All it took was bantam poop, I
watered 'em once and they grew some,
E
A
they
should be prime 'bout Easter time if no nosy neighbour steals 'em.
A D
Yeah, all Australian boys need
a shed,
E
to
weld up broken gates, a place for all his mates,
A D
to
come 'round Sunday arvo' for a gin,
E
a
place to make a racket, to find the pipe and pack it.
A

To think about the things his
woman said,
