         Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD MajorD
You may talk of the ringer from Queensland,
                                Chord diagramA augmentedA
The big shearing gun from the west,

They are men who have proven their value,
Chord diagramE7E7                             Chord diagramA7A7
Whenever they're put to the test,
       Chord diagramD MajorD         Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD MajorD
But if you ever looked to the mountains,
                                        Chord diagramE MajorE
And the south where it snows and it rains,
          Chord diagramA augmentedA
Have you thought of the men from the Snowy,
                                   Chord diagramD MajorD
And the cattlemen from the high plains.

          Chord diagramG+G
From the high plains away above Dargo
        Chord diagramD MajorD                        Chord diagramB7B7
In the alps where the snow daisy grows.
           Chord diagramE MajorE
Where the wild mountain herds are grazin'
                                    Chord diagramA7A7
Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow,
          Chord diagramD MajorD          Chord diagramG+G           Chord diagramD MajorD
Where the cattlemen search every cranny,
                                   Chord diagramE MajorE
When they muster at each summer's end,
          Chord diagramA augmentedA
In their rain batter hats and their oil skins,
                                        Chord diagramD MajorD
From the high plains, come real cattlemen,

(Chorus)
           Chord diagramG+G
They're a part of Australia's history,
      Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramB7B7
Their heritage all be the same,
 Chord diagramA7A7
If nobody cares what is happening,
                                Chord diagramD MajorD
To the cattlemen from the high plains.

(Intrumental)
|Chord diagramA7A7   |Chord diagramD MajorD   |   ||

       Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramG+G
After one fifty years they can take it,
                                     Chord diagramA7A7
All the hardship the mountains can give,

They hand onto each generation,
       Chord diagramE7E7                         Chord diagramA7A7
Their caring, their live and let live,
         Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramD MajorD
All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies,
                                      Chord diagramE7E7
Which one knows like the palm of his hand,
            Chord diagramA7A7
There's no room here for too many new chums
                             Chord diagramD MajorD
In the mountain cattleman's land.

      Chord diagramG+G
So I guess that you'll never believe me,
         Chord diagramD MajorD                             Chord diagramB7B7
When you hear what they're plannin' to do,
         Chord diagramE MajorE
Down in town, mate they're writin' the law now,
                                       Chord diagramA7A7
That the man from the high plains must go,
          Chord diagramD MajorD              Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramD MajorD
Take his herds from the mountains and ridges,
                                      Chord diagramE7E7
Leave the land where his forefathers reigned,
           Chord diagramA augmentedA
With the sweep of the pen they want to write out,
                                Chord diagramD MajorD
The cattlemen from the high plains,

(Chorus)
           Chord diagramG+G
They're a part of Australia's history,
      Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramB7B7
Their heritage all be the same,
 Chord diagramA7A7
If nobody cares what is happening,
                                Chord diagramD MajorD
To the cattlemen from the high plains.

(tag)
        Chord diagramA7A7
Just a bit more freedom goes with them,

The cattlemen from the high...
