Leave Him In The Longyard

C F C F

[Verse]
 G
Yes he's looking kinda jaded

And his sight is not the best
                                          C
And the hair around his muzzle's turning grey
        D
He has seen a hundred musters

And I think it's only fair
                                         G
That we leave him in the long yard here today

 G
He was broken in the 60's

Maybe '63 or '4
                                          C
And never faulted always seemed to be on hand
       D
Never have I seen him beaten

By a bullock in the bush
                                           G
And at night watch he was pick of all the land

[Chorus]
 G
So leave him out there in the long yard do not rush him
                                             D
Leave him out there with his mate the bally bay

Leave him there 'til after smoko then we'll catch him
                                    G
And pull his tail and turn him out today

 G
Yes he's looking kind of jaded

And his sight is not the best
                                          C
And the hair around his muzzle's turning grey
        D
He has seen a hundred musters

And I think it's only fair
                                         G
That we leave him in the long yard here today

 G
He's entitled to some kindness

In return for all he's been
                                          C
Now he's failing and his step is getting slow
          D
Let him squander his last summers

By the river with his mates
                                           G
In the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow

[Chorus]
 G
So leave him out there in the long yard do not rush him
                                             D
Leave him out there with his mate the bally bay

With his mate that he can graze and he can laze with
                                          G
Leave him there and we will turn him out today

 G
Leave him out there in the long yard do not rush him
                                             D
Leave him out there with his mate the bally bay

With his mate that he can graze and he can laze with
                                          G
Leave him there and we will turn him out today
           D                              G
Leave him there and we will turn him out today
