Intro Chords: D G D G
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
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
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
