Their names will be remembered long after they are dead

The champion of Queensland got on to ride him round

  FF       C majorC      G7G7        C majorC
He rode him just two seconds one up one coming down

                  FF
A augmentedA fella came in the other night to show what he could do

  G7G7                            C majorC
