[F#] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] White fences surround me on [C] every side
A home for [G] the old men [A] is where [D] I reside
[Bm]
I've nothing [G] but memories of days when I rode
At ease in the sadder [D] that once was [G] my home
[D]
[G] I know [Em] that my days [C] of wild living are done
[G] Of riding wild horses [D] on far cattle run
[G] Of droving or shearing, [C] well those days are behind
[G] And all I want now [D] is contentment [G] of mind
There are so many things [C] that bring memories so plain
[G] Like the whistle at evening [D] of an outgoing train
[G] Or that old country ballad [C] with a strumming guitar
[G] Oh I long for the bushland [D] way out [G] there so far
Now they say it's so pity [C] when I get the blues
[G] But life is so [D] different to what I've been used
[G] I've lived since my boyhood [C] on mountains and plains
[G] And it hurts when you know that [D] you'll not see [G] them again
My relatives brought me [C] away from the west
[G] And the doctors all tell me that [D] I've just gotta have rest
[G] Oh but what good is rest [C] to the body alone
[G] When the mind keeps on pining [D] for that [G] old western home
White fences surround me on [C] every side
A home for [G] the old men [A] is where [D] I reside
[E]
I've nothing [G] but memories of days when [C] I rode
And [G] he's in the cellar [D] that once was [G] my home
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
