Paddy William Chords by Slim Dusty

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ [F] _ _ _ Said he was born [C] on Marble Bar, [Bb] been a drover all [F] his life
_ _ With his old [C] dark skin, a wrinkled grin, [Bb] grandchildren [F] and a wife _
He drove cattle [C] through to Camel [Bb] Wheel and up the [F] Iser too
_ And his old eyes [C] shone of the days long [Bb] gone and the mates [F] he knew
_ Well I met him [C] there in Turkey [Bb] Creek as he sat in a [F] four-wheel drive
_ I was glad to [C] find his mind was [Bb] sharp and the memories [F] still alive _
Of the droving [C] days in the stockyard [Bb] camp when he rode at the [F] boss' side
_ For he'd been [C] a wringer all his [Bb] life on the western [F] _ side
Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name and [F] droving was his game
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback [Bb] trails is a long, long [F] way from home
Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name [F] and droving was his game
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback [Bb] trails is a long, long way [F] from home
Well _ _ he looked so [C] old and weary [Bb] as he proudly [F] spoke his name
His old eyes [C] shone like beacons [Bb] when he talked of the [F] droving game
_ He said he was [C] born on Marble [Bb] Bar, been a drover [F] all his life
_ With his old dark [C] skin and a wrinkled grin [Bb] said he loved [F] the life
[C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ _ And I guess he's [C] still in Turkey Creek [Bb] near the hills of [F] misty blue
And I hope his [C] dreams of the cattle run [Bb] all [F] come true _ _
And I hope he [C] finds a horse so [Bb] fine to carry him [F] away
_ On the droving run [C] he'll be number one like [Bb] the good old [F] days
Oh [Bb] Paddy William is his name [F] and droving was his game
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback [Bb] trails is a long, long [F] way from home
[Bb] Oh Paddy William is his name [F] and droving was his game
[C] But a thousand miles on the [Bb] outback trails is a long, long way [F] from home
[C] So _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
if you're driving through the [C] [Bb] Kimberleys or around the [F] Isle of Wight
You might see him [C] slowly riding [Gm] with a [Bb] big mob [F] on the graze
_ He'll be tall and straight, [C] don't hesitate, [Bb] just call out [F] his name
_ Say g'day there [C] Paddy William, [Bb] hey, how's [F] the droving game?
[Bb] Oh Paddy William is his name [F] and droving was his game
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback [Bb] trails is a long, long way [F] from home
Oh Paddy [Bb] William is his name and [F] droving was his game
[C] But a thousand miles on the outback [Bb] trails is a long, long way [F] from home
