Leave Hi'm In The Longyard

Capo on the 3rd Fret 


Intro Chords:  D   G   D    G 

 G 
Yes he's looking kinda jaded 

And his sight is not the best 
                                          C 
And the hair around his muzzle's turning grey 
        D 
He has seen a hundred musters 

And I think it's only fair 
                                         G 
That we leave him in the long yard here today 


 G 
He was broken in the 60's 
               
Maybe '63 or '4 
                                          C 
And never faulted always seemed to be on hand 
       D 
Never have I seen him beaten 

By a bullock in the bush 
                                           G 
And at night watch he was pick of all the land 



[Refrão]
 G 
So leave him out there in the long yard do not rush him 
                                             D 
Leave him out there with his mate the bally bay 

Leave him there 'til after smoko then we'll catch him 
                                    G 
And pull his tail and turn him out today

 G 
He's entitled to some kindness  

In return for all he's been 
                                          C 
Now he's failing and his step is getting slow 
          D 
Let him squander his last summers  

By the river with his mates 
                                           G 
In the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow

Leave him out there with his mate the bally bay 

With his mate that he can graze and he can laze with 
                                          G 
Leave him there and we will turn him out today
