Barramundi

By Mark A Hunter:
                                      
                                       
                                         Played in the key of “C”

                                        C
There's a breed of man with a calloused hand 
for his work is harder than most
            F
and he takes a stand not on the land
but the deck of a fishing boat
      C 
Now his specialty is barramundi
but he'll take a salmon or Jew
       G
I've even been told that catfish and all
go into the packaging too

             
CHORUS ---------------------------------------------------
     C
So run out the nets haven’t got enough yet
gotta catch a barramundi for you
               F
you can bake it or fry it never know 'till you try it
you can even cook it up in a stew
        G
Just roll 'em in flour and fry 'em on the stove
     G
or chuck 'em in the fire and cook 'em on the coals
G
Serve with rice and a panican of tea
           G
some chips and salad any way will do me
C
Barramundi!

                   LEAD GUITAR

                   CHORUS
C
Now they work with the tide and tempers are tried
by catfish and crab in the net
      F
an occasional shout, how're we gonna get it out
there's a bloody big croc in it yet!
          C
but a good sharp knife gets 'em out of strife
they'll cut the reptile free
       
             G
and the skipper might swear and pull out his hair
it's a rugged old life on the sea.
            
              CHORUS

              LEAD GUITAR

              CHORUS
C
now a barramundi boat is fairly small
twelve meters long at the most
        F
with four in a crew all living on stew
for their rations are nothing to boast
            C
and for weeks on end these unshaven men
breaking their backs for a crust
           G
just to be let down when they get into town
by an unpaying skipper gone bust.

               CHORUS

               LEAD GUITAR
