Intro Bb 
 
 Bb 
Now I'm a scrubber runner and a breaker too 
   F 
I live on damper and wallaby stew 
 Bb 
I've got a big cattle dog with a staghound cross 
  F                               Bb 
Never saw a scrubber we couldn't toss 
 Bb 
'Cause I'm the fella from Cunnamulla 
               F         Bb  F  Bb 
Yes I'm the Cunnamulla fella 
 
 
 Bb 
Now once when I was droving on the cattle trails 
   F 
I met a little girl her name was Ada Vales 
       Bb 
Said marry me Ada I'll be the fella 
        F                  Bb 
We'll settle down in Augathella 
 Bb 
I'll be the fella at Augathella 
                  F          Bb  F  Bb 
Yes I'll be the Augathella fella 
 
 
 Bb 
Oh she said her daddy's name was Charlie Ville 
     F                         
She had a lot of kiddies and a lot of bills 
       Bb                                 
So I grabbed my horse that was nice and handy 
       F                             Bb 
And I never stopped 'til I reached Dirranbandi 
 Bb 
I was the dandy at Dirranbandi 
             F          Bb 
I was the Dirranbandi dandy 
 Bb 
D-d-d dandy at Dirranbandi 
                 F         Bb 
Yeah I'm the Dirranbandi dandy 
 
 Bb F Bb F Bb 
 
 
 Bb 
Now in my moleskin trousers and my William's boots 
 F 
I board me an outlaw as he leaves the chutes 
        Bb 
In my goose neck spurs I rake his fiery hide 
      F                              Bb 
The girls all shouting 'round the ringside 
 Bb 
He's the fella from Cunnamulla 
            F         Bb 
He's the Cunnamulla fella 
 Bb 
He's just the fella from Cunnamulla 
            F         Bb 
He's the Cunnamulla fella 
 
 
 
 Bb 
Now I've done a little fightin' in the western bars 
 F 
Done a little lovin' 'neath the moon and stars 
   Bb 
I wear bright clothes and shirts full of colour 
          F                             Bb 
And the girls know me as that certain fella 
 Bb 
I'm the fella from Cunnamulla 
          F          Bb 
I'm the Cunnamulla fella 
 Bb                     
I'm just the fella from Cunnamulla 
               F          Bb 
Yeah I'm the Cunnamulla fella 
             F          Bb 
Oh I'm the Cunnamulla fella 
               F          Bb 
Yeah I'm the Cunnamulla fella
