[Verse 1]~
A                   E          A
I'm into cattle,..!! my Father was too

A                                 E            A
From Great Great Grandfather all the way through

A                        D            A
And we scarcely have wasted an hour of daylight

A                          E             A
Stickin' to Herefords and it's been all right


[Verse 2]~
A                               E          A
Prepared for the lean times and save for a drought

A                                 E            A
But you can't always plan how the future turns out

A                        D            A
Life's gettin' harder to make what we need

A                          E              A
With low cattle prices and more mouths to feed


[Chorus]~
A                         D          A
Oh,..!! six generations where camels run free

A                     B        E
I hope I am never too blind to see

   A                           D         A
How fortunate,..!! how proud can an old fella be

A                                    E               A
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me


[Verse 3]~
A                     E              A
Sent the boys off to school to see Adelaide

A                            E            A
How other folks live,..!! get a job learn a trade

A                        D            A
Couldn't keep them away 'cause their hearts are still here

A                          E              A
My butcher,..!! my welder,..!! my diesel engineer


[Chorus]~
A                         D          A
Oh,..!! six generations where camels run free

A                     B        E
I hope I am never too blind to see

  A                           D         A
How fortunate,..!! how proud can an old fella be

A                                    E               A
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me


[Verse 4]~
A                             E            A
And I come in for dinner,..!! the sun hits the range

A                            E           E
In a matter of seconds the colours all change

A                            D            A
From gold down to violet the soul has been burned

A                          E              A
And I understand fully why they have returned


[Outro]~
A                     E              A
Cause I'm into cattle,..!! my Father was too

A                            E            A
From Great Great Grandfather all the way through

A                        D            A
And we've never been guilty of wasting daylight

A                                   E           A
We work hard,..!! we play hard and we sleep well at night

A                                    E               A
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me
