Long Yard Rider
Intro:
|Em |Em |Em |Em D
[Verse 1]
G D
I drove that stallion down Jackie’s Creek
Am C G
Been ridin’ fences eight days a week
D
I told my missus I won’t be long
Am C G
Put that candle in the window cause I’ll soon be comin’ home
[Chorus]
Em D
‘cause I’m a long yard rider
G Am
A long yard rider
C D Em
A long yard rider in the sun
[Verse 2]
G D
All across the ranges to muster boys we must
Am C G
To all those city strangers whose blue ribbons blues the dust
D
Through this careless nation, stock-whip and the shears
Am C G
We got no opinions boys, we got no ideas
[Chorus]
Em D
‘cause we’re the long yard riders
G Am
Long yard riders
C D Em
Long yard riders in the sun
[Bridge]
Am C G
Through ranges long and low
Am C G
We’re travelling far and slow
[Verse 3]
G D
We seek no government, we seek no recompense
Am C G
We ride that devil’s hatband, that old barb wire fence
D
From station to station, to Murrumbidgee Downs
Am C G
The pubs will never close me boys when we ride into town
[Chorus]
Em D
‘cause we’re the long yard riders
G Am
Long yard riders
C D Em
Long yard riders in the sun
D
Long yard riders
G Am
Long yard riders
C D G C G
Long yard riders in the sun
