Back On The Grader

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


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

D  Am  F  Am  E  Am

                          D
He got married young on a wing and a
 prayer

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


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


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


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

Chorus

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