Now did ya ever wake up in the morning On the wrong side of the bed
 E                                                         A
A bit confused and yawning You go straight out the back to ya  shed
                               D        E
Yeah all Australian boys need a shed  A place where he can go  Somewhere to clear his head
    A                              D    E                             A
T think about the things his woman said Yeah all Australian boys need a shed

[Verse]
A                                  D    
A joint to learn to read and 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 dried Oh hang and pay the bills

[Verse]
A                                    D
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 out
 E                                                       A 
She creaks and sways on windy days And leans towards the south

[Verse]
A                                                   D
At the back of the shed where the dogs are fed Near last years bales of lucern
 E  
Sticky tall green weeds Came up from thrown out seeds
 A                            D
All it took was bantum poop I watered 'em once and they grew some
E                                                             D
Should be prime about Easter time If no nosy neighbour steals em

[Verse]
A                               D         E
Yeah all Australian boys need a  shed To  weld up broken gates
A                          A                             D
place for all his mates To come round Sunday arvo for a  jam
E   
A place to make a racket Find the pipe and pack it
A                                D           E                           A
