John Williamson – Cydi (Guitar)

    G                     D      C          G
She walks like her old man, over active and thin

G                     D                C                D
She laughs at all the same things, that make her father grin

G          D      Em              C
She's only 15, no brothers in her clan

        C                G         Am    D     G
And her father calls her Cydi, his right hand man

G               D           C               G
She can drive a tractor, or curse a useless dog

G              D                 C               D
Shear a sheep, strain a fence or cut a nine foot log

        G             D       Em           C
She was meant to be a boy, it didn't go to plan

        C                G         Am    D     G
But her father loves his Cydi, his right hand man

        G           D              C             G
But the boys in the town today are turning their heads

G              D          C             D
Is that really Cydi, that tomboy kid of Ted's?

    G                D          Em            C
She used to kick the footy, win every race we ran

    C                  G                  Am    D     G
Ted knew the world was changing, for his right hand man

          G               D        C                  G
You won't find her in the kitchen, she won't make her bed

      G             D                  C             D
She'd rather make a sheep grate with a welder in the shed

   G                 D           Em             C
Or just be out there in the bush doing what she can

     C              G           Am    D     G
Just being with her father, his right hand man

        G                D              C                 G
And her mother takes her shopping, it's time she bought a dress

G              D            C                D
Looking in the mirror, "Not bad" she must confess

        G                D                 Em         C
But I'd rather have that pair of jeans and boots if I can

      C                  G         Am    D     G
She's still her father's Cydi, his right hand man

        G           D              C             G
And the boys in the town today are turning their heads

G              D          C             D
Is that really Cydi, that tomboy kid of Ted's?

    G                D          Em            C
She used to kick the footy, win every race we ran

    C                  G                 Am    D     G
Ted knew the world was changing, for his right hand man

         C                G         Am    D     G
Yeah her father loved his Cydi, his right hand man
