Slim Dusty – Leave Him In The Long Yard (Guitar)

          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.

       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.

              D 
So leave him out there in the longyard,  Do not rush him.

                                             A
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.

   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.

        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.

        D 
So leave him out there in the longyard,  Do not rush him.

                                             A
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.

  D           
Yeah, leave him out there in the longyard,   Do not rush him.

                                              A 
Leave him out there with his mate, the baldy bay.

                                        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.
