         D          G         
You may talk of the ringer from 
   D
Queensland,
                                A
The big shearing gun from the west,

They are men who have proven their 
value,
E7                             A7
Whenever they're put to the test,
       D         G          
But if you ever looked to the 
  D
mountains,
And the south where it snows and it 
    E
rains,
          A
Have you thought of the men from the
 Snowy,
And the cattlemen from the high 
   D
plains.


          G
From the high plains away above 
Dargo
        D                        
In the alps where the snow daisy 
B7
grows.
           E
Where the wild mountain herds are 
grazin'
Beneath the shadow of mountains of 
 A7
snow,
          D          G           
Where the cattlemen search every 
D
cranny,
When they muster at each summer's 
 E
end,
          A
In their rain batter hats and their 
oil skins,

From the high plains, come real 
        D
cattlemen,

[Chorus]
           G
They're a part of Australia's 
history,
      D                    B7
Their heritage all be the same,
 A7
If nobody cares what is happening,
To the cattlemen from the high 
 D
plains.

       D        G              D
After one fifty years they can take 
it,
All the hardship the mountains can 
  A7
give,

They hand onto each generation,
       E7                       
Their caring, their live and let 
  A7
live,
         D              G         
All the steep mountain tracks and 
     D
the gullies,
Which one knows like the palm of his
  E7
 hand,
            A7
There's no room here for too many 
new chums
                             D
In the mountain cattleman's land.


      G
So I guess that you'll never believe
 me,
         D                         
When you hear what they're plannin'
    B7
 to do,
         E
Down in town, mate, they're writin' 
the law now,
That the man from the high plains 
     A7
must go,
          D              G        
Take his herds from the mountains 
    D
and ridges,
Leave the land where his forefathers
  E7
 reigned,
           A
With the sweep of the pen they want 
to write out,
                                D
The cattlemen from the high plains,

[Chorus]
           G
They're a part of Australia's 
history,
      D                    B7
Their heritage all be the same,
 A7
If nobody cares what is happening,
To the cattlemen from the high 
 D
plains.

        A7
Just a bit more freedom goes with 
them,

The cattlemen from the high...
