 Am                                       D               
 Have you seen the old stockman at the functions and balls
                                        Am                  
 He drinks while they serve him and he sleeps where he falls
                            D                  
 He'll be crook sunday but he'll turn up monday
              E                                 Am 
 Through he wonders if one day he'll bother at all
 
 Chorus
 
 Am                                       F            C   
 Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
      D                      Am               
 And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
                                         F             C 
 And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
           E                            Am  
 And he's back he's back on the grader again
 
 D Am F Am E Am 
       
                           D                
 He got married young on a wing and a prayer
                                     Am            
 And it promised the world but they didn't go there
                               D                
 'Cos the wet season ends and away like the damp
        E                                      Am 
 He shoulders his saddle and he's back in the camp
 
 Chorus
 
 Am                                       F            C   
 Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
      D                      Am               
 And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
                                         F             C 
 And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
           E                            Am  
 And he's back he's back on the grader again
 
                                  D                 
 He can't get the books cause he can't read or write
                                Am                
 And he's to old for drivin' a road train at night
                                 D             
 The windmills to high and the fencings to hard
           E                                   Am 
 He's to proud for the garden to slow for the yard
 
 Chorus
 
 Am                                       F            C   
 Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
      D                      Am               
 And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
                                         F             C 
 And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
           E                            Am  
 And he's back he's back on the grader again
 
 Chorus
 
 Am                                       F            C   
 Cause they've turned out the horses the whole bloody plant
      D                      Am               
 And he'd ride a bike if he could but he can't
                                         F             C 
 And if you live to chase cattle you'll die where you are
           E                            Am  
 And he's back he's back on the grader again
