Leave Him In The Long Yard
[Capo 1]
[INTRO]
A D A D
[Verse 1]
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.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Verse 3]
D
So leave him out there in the longyard, Do not rush him.
G
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.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
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.
[Verse 5]
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.
[Verse 6]
D
So leave him out there in the longyard, Do not rush him.
G
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.
[Verse 7]
D
Yeah, leave him out there in the longyard, Do not rush him.
A
Leave him out there with his mate, the baldy bay.
Leave him out there till after smoko And we'll catch him.
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.
