[Am]Have you seen the old stockman at the fun[D]ctions and balls
He drinks while they serve him and he s[Am]leeps where he falls
He'll be crook sunday but h[D]e'll turn up monday
Through he wo[E]nders if one day he'll bother at a[Am]ll

Chorus

[Am]Cause they've turned out the horses the w[F]hole bloody p[C]lant
And h[D]e'd ride a bike if he c[Am]ould but he can't
And if you live to chase cattle you'll d[F]ie where you a[C]re
And he's b[E]ack he's back on the grader a[Am]gain

[D] [Am] [F] [Am] [E] [Am]
He got married young on a [D]wing and a prayer
And it promised the world but they d[Am]idn't go there
'Cos the wet season ends and a[D]way like the damp
He shou[E]lders his saddle and he's back in the c[Am]amp

Chorus

[Am]Cause they've turned out the horses the w[F]hole bloody p[C]lant
And h[D]e'd ride a bike if he c[Am]ould but he can't
And if you live to chase cattle you'll d[F]ie where you a[C]re
And he's b[E]ack he's back on the grader a[Am]gain

He can't get the books cause he c[D]an't read or write
And he's to old for drivin' a r[Am]oad train at night
The windmills to high and the fe[D]ncings to hard
He's to pr[E]oud for the garden to slow for the y[Am]ard

Chorus

[Am]Cause they've turned out the horses the w[F]hole bloody p[C]lant
And h[D]e'd ride a bike if he c[Am]ould but he can't
And if you live to chase cattle you'll d[F]ie where you a[C]re
And he's b[E]ack he's back on the grader a[Am]gain

Chorus

[Am]Cause they've turned out the horses the w[F]hole bloody p[C]lant
And h[D]e'd ride a bike if he c[Am]ould but he can't
And if you live to chase cattle you'll d[F]ie where you a[C]re
And he's b[E]ack he's back on the grader a[Am]gain
