About a hundred years ago, 
                   A7        D    G  D
A man came here in search of gold.
                          G        D      G  D
And the shack he built is standin' still,
                       A7       D
About half a mile from Dumphy's Hill.

      D                G      D      G  D
There ain't no-one for miles around,
                         A7   D      G  D
The bubblin' creek's the only sound.
                     G      D    G  D
Well honey, I need a fix of you,  
                              A7    D  
Cause we've got some catchin' up to do.

Back to the shack and the mountain nights,
D                       A    D
Wrapped in a rug by the fire light.
  G
I need you baby, like I did back then,
D                 A                    D    G  D  A  D
Back to the shack, back where it all began.

D                  G       D    G  D
There's a place we used to go,
                           A7     D     G  D
Down by the creek past the wombat hole.
                      G      D       G  D
We'll lay the blanket on the ground,
                                A7       D   
And I'll stay with you 'til the sun goes down.

G
Back to the shack and the mountain nights,
D                       A    D
Wrapped in a rug by the fire light.
  G
I need you baby, like I did back then,
D                 A                    D    
Back to the shack, back where it all began.

If these ancient walls could speak,
                        A7        D      G  D
They'd tell the tale of Growler's Creek.
               G       D      G  D
And maybe in a hundred years,
                         A7      D  
They'd recall the lovin' we made here.

Back to the shack and the mountain nights,

Ooooh, back to the shack.
D            G           D      A  D
Ooooh, goin' back to the shack.
