[E] [Gm]
I'm into cattle, [D] my father was too [G]
From [D] great-great-grandfather all the way
through And we scarcely [G] have wasted an hour of daylight
Stickin' [D] to Hereford's and [G] it's been all right
Prepared for the lean [D] times and save for [G] a drought
But you can't always plan [D] how the [G] future turns out
Life's gettin' [C#] harder [C] to make [G] what we need With low cattle prices and [D] more [G] mouths to
feed Oh, six [C] generations where camels [G] run free
I hope I am never [A] too blind [D] to see [G] How fortunate, how proud [C] can an [G] old fella
be Three sons in their swags [D] round the stock
[G] camp with me [D] [G]
Sent the boys off to school [D] to see [G] how to
lay How other folks live and get [D] a job, [G] learn
to trade Couldn't keep them [A] awake [C] cause their [G] hearts
are still here My butcher, my [D] welder, my diesel [G] engineer
Oh, six generations [C] where [G] camels run free I hope I am never [A] too [D] blind to see
[G] How fortunate, how proud can [C] an old [G] fella be Three sons in their swags round the [D] stock
[G] camp with me And they're comin' [A] for dinner, [C] the sun hits
[G] the range In a matter of seconds [A] the [D] colors'll change
[G] From gold down to violet [C] the soul [G] has been burned
And I understand fully [D] why they [G] have returned Yes, I'm into cattle, [D] my father [G] was too
From great-great-grandfather [D] all the [G] way through
And we've never been [C] guilty of wasting [G] daylight We work hard, we play [D] hard, and we sleep well
[G] at night Oh, six generations [C] where [G] camels run free
I hope I am never [A] too [D] blind to see [G] How fortunate, how proud can [C] an old [G] fella
be Three sons in their swags round [D] the stock
[G] camp with me Three sons in their swags round [D] the [G] campfire with me
