  			Hang me for a sucker 
Bm 
On the plains out of Narrabri 
Swingin' a hoe in a CAL-cotton row 
Sweatin' on the dangers to me  
Bossman's Mr. Tucker 
He's a man I don't care to defy 
And his only child wicked and wild is seeking my company 
    Bm             A6                 Em              A 
She wanna build me up     tear me down 
          D        D/C#   Bm      D/A 
Slap my knee bones to the ground 
G       D/F#       G      A         
Me and mine are gonna be around 
D      D/C#           Bm   D/A 
When Tuckers' daughter's a memory 
Em            D/F#         G     A        Asus 
 
Hot sun is a killer 
Bm 
She'll be waitin' at the end of my line 
Taking the shade with a cool lemonade sayin' 
Boy I wanna talka to you 
Bossmans' only daughter  
She ain't his and she'll never be mine 
Never be down on a dollar or two 
Bm                 A6    
Or told what she's gonna do 
   Em                    F#m   A 
 
She wanna build me up tear me down 
Slap my knee bones to the ground 
Me and mine are gonna be around  
When Tuckers' daughters a memory 
Build me up tear me down 
I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sounds 
And Tuckers' daughter's a memory 
 
People born with all they need 
F#m7 
They don't understand 
Bm              A      D  
Everything you want don't come from holding out your hand 
Gmaj7                     D/F#      Em               F#sus    F#   F#m  
Tuckers' daughter thinks she sees 
F#m7 
A slave at her command 
Bm                A     D            
I know you need some time yet baby 
Gmaj7                         D/F# 
But when the time is right 
             Em 
Babe I just ain't your man 
A                      Bm
