[Verse]
A With horse bells to keep me company and the waters to flow near me, E Just an axe mark on a gidgee, I don't want no fancy grave,
Somewhere out there on the Cooper, there's a quiet spot near the nine mile,
A A7 Where the ringers go each muster, when the gidgee blossoms wave.
[Verse]
D Let the wild horse and the clean skin and the brown bee in the clover, E Let the wood duck and the emu, all bear witness to my tomb,
Near that quiet spot at the nine mile make an axe mark on a gidgee,
A
Let my shrine be always centred, by the western gidgee blooms.[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A Make an axe mark on a gidgee, I've no wish for marble headstones, E I've no kin in distant places, who may shed a tear and claim,
I was someone who I wasn't, well you know the way I feel mate,
A A7 Just an axe mark on a gidgee and initials for my name.
[Verse]
D And in the middle of each muster, when the camp is by the nine mark, E When the steers are being ready and those sand hills flowers wave,
Try and find the time one evenin' to come by where I'll be sleeping
A
Where an axe mark on a gidgee by the Cooper marks my grave.[Interlude]
E A A7
[Verse]
D Let the wild horse and the clean skin and the brown bee in the clover, E Let the wood duck and the emu, all bear witness to my tomb,
Near that quiet spot at the nine mile make an axe mark on a gidgee,
A D A Let my shrine be always centred, by the western gidgee blooms.
