Leave Him In The Long Yard

A   D   A   D

[Verse 1]
          D
Well he's lookin' kinda jaded,  And 
his sight is not the best,
And the hair around around his 
                 G
muzzle's turnin' grey.
        A
He has seen a hundred musters,  And 
I think its only fair:
We leave him in the longyard here 
  D
today.

[Verse 2]
       D
He was broken in the sixties,  Maybe
 63 or 4.
Never faltered always seemed to be 
   G
on hand,
      A
Never have I seen him beaten,  By a 
bullock in the bush,
And at night watch he was pick of 
        D
all the land.

[Verse 3]
              D
So leave him out there in the 
longyard,  Do not rush him.
Leave him out there with his mate, 
          A
the baldy bay.
Continues after the ad
     A
With his mates that he can graze, 
and He can laze with.
Leave him there and we will turn him
       D
 out today.

[Verse 4]
   D
Oh yes he's lookin' kinda jaded,  
And his sight is not the best,
And the hair around around his 
                  G
muzzle's turnin' grey.
        A
He has seen a hundred musters,
And I think its only fair:  We leave
                            D
 him in the longyard here today.

[Verse 5]
        D
He's entitled to some kindness,   In
 return for all he's been.
Now he's failin' and his step is 
         G
gettin' slow.
         A
Let him squander his last summers   
 By the river with his mates,
In the paddock where the sweetest 
         D
grasses grow.

[Verse 6]
        D
So leave him out there in the 
longyard,  Do not rush him.
Leave him out there with his mate, 
          A
the baldy bay.
      A
Leave him out there till after smoko
  And we'll catch him.
We'll pull his tail and turn him out
   D
 today.

[Verse 7]
  D
Yeah, leave him out there in the 
longyard,   Do not rush him.
Leave him out there with his mate, 
           A
the baldy bay.

Leave him out there till after smoko
  And we'll catch him.
We'll pull his tail and turn him out
    D
 today.
           A                       
Yes we'll pull his tail and turn 
        D
him out today.
              A                    
Oh leave him there and we will turn
           D
 him out today.
