Leave Him In The Longyard

C F C F

[Verse]
 G
Yes he's looking kinda jaded

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

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

 G
He was broken in the 60's

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

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

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

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

 G
Yes he's looking kind of jaded

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

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

 G
He's entitled to some kindness

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

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

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

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

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

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