[E] [A] [D]
Will you ever stop singing, Chad, [A] old mate?
You think you might retire?
Lie right back in Grandpa's chair in front of the [D] open fire.
No way, mate.
When you reached the 70s, Chad, I thought that might [G] be it.
You're just [D] like a young [A] bloke champing at [D] the bit.
Yeah, I feel like a 20 year old.
Two or three, actually.
I'll never retire, John, old mate.
Stage I'll [A] never leave.
I'll push out another song, old mate, as long as I [D] can breathe.
As long as there's a sunrise, I'll always turn [G] me throat.
As long as the fish [D] are biting, mate, [A] I'll never leave [D] the boat.
[G] Ah, that's what it's like to be a country [D] balladeer.
[G] It'll never up and [D] leave you lonely.
[G] There's nothing new about it.
It's like old [D] Uluru.
[A] So don't you go changing, mate.
I'll pump you if [D] you do.
Your turn, Chad.
You think you'll drop the guitar, John?
Leave it [A] in the case.
Head into the hills and disappear without [D] a trace.
If you reach a hundred albums, mate, they'll tell you [G] that's enough.
Yeah.
No, you'll be just [D] the same as me [A] and I don't give [D] a stuff.
You hit the nail on the head, Chad.
You got me to [A] a T.
I'm part of the guitar and it's a [D] part of me.
No matter where I go, Chad, I've got it [G] in the ute.
Call me one [D] track-minded, [A] I don't give [D] a hoot.
Lucky he didn't say track.
[G] That's what it's like to be a country [D] balladeer.
[G] It'll never up and leave [D] you lonely.
