Leave Him In The Long Yard
 Capo 1:
INTRO:
A   D   A   D

Verse 1:
          D
Well he's lookin' kinda jaded,  And his sight is not the best,
                                                G
And the hair around around his muzzle's turnin' grey.
        A
He has seen a hundred musters,  And I think its only fair:
                                    D
We leave him in the longyard here today.

Verse 2:
       D
He was broken in the sixties,  Maybe 63 or 4.
                                      G
Never faltered always seemed to be on hand,
      A
Never have I seen him beaten,  By a bullock in the bush,
                                          D
And at night watch he was pick of all the land.

Verse 3:
              D
So leave him out there in the longyard,  Do not rush him.
                                             G
Leave him out there with his mate, the baldy bay.
     A
With his mates that he can graze, and He can laze with.
                                           D
Leave him there and we will turn him out today.

Instrumental:
D   G   A

Verse 4:
   D
Oh yes he's lookin' kinda jaded,  And his sight is not the best,
                                                 G
And the hair around around his muzzle's turnin' grey.
        A
He has seen a hundred musters,
                                                                D
And I think its only fair:  We leave him in the longyard here today.

Verse 5:
        D
He's entitled to some kindness,   In return for all he's been.
                                          G
Now he's failin' and his step is gettin' slow.
         A
Let him squander his last summers    By the river with his mates,
                                           D
In the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow.

Verse 6:
        D
So leave him out there in the longyard,  Do not rush him.
                                             G
Leave him out there with his mate, the baldy bay.
      A
Leave him out there till after smoko  And we'll catch him.
                                       D
We'll pull his tail and turn him out today.

Verse 7:
  D
Yeah, leave him out there in the longyard,   Do not rush him.
                                              A
Leave him out there with his mate, the baldy bay.

Leave him out there till after smoko  And we'll catch him.
                                        D
We'll pull his tail and turn him out today.
           A                               D
Yes we'll pull his tail and turn him out today.
              A                               D
Oh leave him there and we will turn him out today.
