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

Chorus

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


Chorus

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
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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
