Ok this  song is a little repetitious.   Mainly because all  I know is 1 verse.  I was putting this together when I got that horrible cold and crap.  Anyway I had told 48 I was going to post something to see if you guitar players  could keep up.  MY friends call this the blah blah blah song.  And it is a favorite at the campground.  One verse and all LOL.  The guitar part is just the chorus repeated. So I did a verse, chorus, guitar solo spot. Through out.  I didn't know how to end so I just chopped it off.   Hope a few of you take up the challenge.  Not a hard song just gets going pretty fast.  Hubby calls me motor mouth on this one.  ;D I was going to try 1 step faster but I came pretty close to losing it as it was.

Well done........but here's the original lyrics

I've Been Everywhere by Geoff Mack©, as sung by Lucky Starr (1962)

I've been everywhere...

Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
(Spoken) "If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, I said
"Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."

Chorus:
Cos "I've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been ev'rywhere.

Been to:
Tullamore, Seymour, Lismore, Mooloolaba,
Nambour, Maroochydore, Kilmore, Murwillumbah,

If you loose track over a chord progression, play as fast as you possibly can. Nobody will know. Thats how they invented bebop.
