Leave Him In The Long Yard (CHORDS) by Slim Dusty
[INTRO]~
A D A D
[Verse 1]~
D
Well he's lookin' kinda jaded,.. And his sight is not the best,..
G
And the hair around around his muzzle's turnin' grey!
A
He has seen a hundred musters,.. And I think its only fair
D
We leave him in the longyard here today!
[Verse 2]~
D
He was broken in the sixties,.. Maybe 63 or 4!
G
Never faltered always seemed to be on hand,..
A
Never have I seen him beaten,.. By a bullock in the bush,..
D
And at night watch he was pick of all the land!
[Verse 3]~
D
So leave him out there in the longyard,.. Do not rush him!
G
Leave him out there with his mate,.. the baldy bay!
A
With his mates that he can graze,.. and He can laze with!
D
Leave him there and we will turn him out today!
[Instrumental]~

[Verse 4]~
D
Oh yes he's lookin' kinda jaded,.. And his sight is not the best,..
G
And the hair around around his muzzle's turnin' grey!
A
He has seen a hundred musters,..
D
And I think its only fair We leave him in the longyard here today!
[Verse 5]~
D
He's entitled to some kindness,.. In return for all he's been!
G
Now he's failin' and his step is gettin' slow!
A
Let him squander his last summers By the river with his mates,..
D
In the paddock where the sweetest grasses grow!
[Verse 6]~
D
So leave him out there in the longyard,.. Do not rush him!
G
Leave him out there with his mate,.. the baldy bay!
A
Leave him out there till after smoko And we'll catch him!
D
We'll pull his tail and turn him out today!
[Verse 7]~
D
Yeah,.. leave him out there in the longyard,.. Do not rush him!
A
Leave him out there with his mate,.. the baldy bay!
Leave him out there till after smoko And we'll catch him!
D
We'll pull his tail and turn him out today!
A D
Yes we'll pull his tail and turn him out today!
A D
Oh leave him there and we will turn him out today!
