Another guest I saw in the 81 Festival [Dm] was a fine, fine man who I [Gm] just had to find a number on first.
Finding all the acts for this [Ab] show was like herding cats, I must say.
It was really hard to get numbers and emails, because not everyone emails these days, everyone [G] likes a phone call.
But this next fella is a bloke that I saw and I loved his just absolute [Ab] gentlemanly nature.
And that's the [Gm] sort of thing you learn from, I guess, as a younger artist at the time.
Please make welcome, Mr Reg [N] Poole.
[G] Come on, we'll plug you in.
[Ab]
Before we start, mate, have you enjoyed [Dm] your festival?
Mate, loved it.
Every [Ab] one.
Been to every one, so enjoyed them all.
You've been to every one?
Yep.
Wow.
[G] That's a feat in itself.
That deserves a [N] gold guitar.
Well, in the early days, it got me [D] out of milking the cows.
Early mornings, eh?
[Gm]
Goodness me.
Well, the [Bb] song I absolutely loved of Reg's when I was a [Ab] kid was Chainsaw.
And [G] I thought we'd love [Dm] to ask him to come along and sing it, [Gb] so why don't we have a go?
[Bb] I'd love to do that.
[B] [E] Troy's [A] missing the [D] fact that there was only half a dozen blokes that [Eb] ever rode Chainsaw.
And I happened to be one of them.
[N] Ah, there you go.
Over the years, yeah.
Yeah?
Then I woke up.
[E]
[G] [E]
[A]
[E] He had a real bad disposition
Ever since the day his four feet hit [A] the ground
[B] That crazy little brahmaproft named Chainsaw, he tried to cut you [E] down
He'd wreak havoc everywhere he'd go
He was born to rodeo
If Pat Condon was still here, [A] he'd be so proud
[B] That crazy little calf he picked
Got all the top bull riders licked
And he became the idol of the [E] crowd
[A] Oh, Chainsaw, Chainsaw, Chainsaw
Can you hear the crowd a-roaring
Like an eagle you go soaring from the [E] chute
[B] Such an awesome reputation
[A] Every rodeo and nation [E] pays tribute
You're a legend in your lifetime
In a game that cuts the legends [A] down to size
But [B] you're doing all the cutting
Oh, you've got the whole world [E] mesmerized
[B] Oh, [A] Chainsaw, Chainsaw, Chainsaw
With your bovine motor revving
As you rocket towards heaven [E] once again
The [B] wretched soul upon your back
Already [A] been to hell and back
Before they even pull [E] the pin
But them old judges get it easy
They just draw another circle on [A] the page
The [B] young cowboy's got a memory
That'll stay with him till he's turned [E] grey with age
He said, I live for riding bulls, mate
But I'm in it for the glory, not [A] the fame
The [B] last time I flew so high
I was looking out the window of [E] a plane
And he'll hunt you when he's got you down
Then go looking for the clown
[A] He loves [E] to hear the mic [A] man say, no stall
And [B] he's kind of got me wishing
That I'd rather cook up fishing
Than old rotten whiskey curtains [E] anymore
At the finals down in Tamworth
Top rider Davey Johnson [A] called for the laugh
Twelve [E] thousand fans were screaming
But [B] the ninety points they gave [E] him weren't enough
But this only made you angry
And since then two hundred men have [A] had to pay
[Em] What the [B] hand from [E] Frenchess Forest [B] did to Chainsaw
On that January [A] [E] day
Oh [A] Chainsaw, Chainsaw, Chainsaw
Can you hear the crowd roaring
Like an eagle you go soaring [E] from the chute
Such an [B] awesome reputation
[A] Every rodeo and nation pays [E] tribute
You're a legend in your lifetime
In a game that cuts the legends down [A] to size
But [B] you're doing all the cut
And I hope you've got the whole world [E]
mesmerized
There's been rankles come before you
But none of them have ever flown [A] so high
And [B] I don't believe there'll [A] ever be
[B] The likes of you again before [E] I die
So here's to the men that rode you
And that pock-horned, air-shy cow that [A] gave you birth
[B] And here's to you, old Chainsaw
You must surely be the rankest [E] fool on Earth
Yes, here's [B] to you, old crazy Chainsaw
You must surely be the rankest fool [E] on [A] Earth
