Am                                       D 
Have you seen the old stockman at the functions and balls 
                                       Am 
He drinks while they serve him and he sleeps where he falls 
                           D 
He'll be crook sunday but he'll turn up monday 
             E                                 Am 
Through he wonders if one day he'll bother at all

Am                                       F            C 
Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant 
     D                      Am         
And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't 
                                        F             C 
And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are 
          E                            Am 
And he's back he's back on the grader again

D  Am  F  Am  E  Am 
 
                          D 
He got married young on a wing and a prayer 
                                    Am 
And it promised the world but they didn't go there 
                              D 
'Cos the wet season ends and away like the damp 
       E                                      Am 
He shoulders his saddle and he's back in the camp

                                 D 
He can't get the books cause he can't read or write 
                               Am 
And he's to old for drivin' a road train at night 
                                D 
The windmills to high and the fencings to hard 
          E                                   Am 
He's to proud for the garden to slow for the yard
