Three Sons (CHORDS) by John Williamson
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
