AmD
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
EAm
Through he wonders if one day he'll bother at all
Chorus
AmFC
Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
DAm
And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
FC
And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
EAm
And he's back he's back on the grader again
DAFAEAmD
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
EAm
He shoulders his saddle and he's back in the camp
Chorus
AmFC
Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
DAm
And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
FC
And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
EAm
And he's back he's back on the grader again
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
EAm
He's to proud for the garden to slow for the yard
Chorus
AmFC
Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
DAm
And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
FC
And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
EAm
And he's back he's back on the grader again
Chorus
AmFC
Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
DAm
And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
FC
And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
EAm
And he's back he's back on the grader again
