1st Verse:
G Dsus2 G Dsus2/F#
A've ay worked on farms an' fae the start
G Dsus2 Dsus2/B Asus4(repeat
progressions)
The muckle horses won ma heart
Wi' big broad backs they proudly stand
The uncrowned kings o' aw the land
Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# G Dsus2/B
An' yet for aw their power and strength
G Dsus2/B G Asus4
They're as gentle as a summer's wind
Chorus:
Dsus2/F# Asus4 Dsus2
So steady boys walk on
Dsus2/F# G Asus4
Oor work is nearly done
G Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# G
No more we'll till or plough the fields,
Dsus2/F# G Asus4
The horses' day is gone
G Dsus2/B Dsus2/F# G
An' this will be oor last trip home,
Dsus2/F# Asus4 Dsus2
So steady boys walk on.
