Three Sons Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm into [D]cattle, my Father was [G]too
From Great [D]Great Grandfather
all [G]the way through
And we [D]scarcely have wasted
an [G]hour of daylight
Stick[D]in' [G]to Hereford[D]s and
it's been [G]all right
Prepared for the lean times
and save [D]for a [G]drought
But you can't always plan how
the fu[D]ture turns [G]out
Life's gettin' harder to
[C]make what we [G]need
With low cattle prices and
more [D]mouths to feed
[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, six generations where [C]camels run [G]free
I hope I am never too [A]blind [D]to see
How [G]fortunate,
how proud can an [C]old fella [G]be
Three sons in their swags 'round
[D]the stock camp with me

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Sent the [G]boys off to school [D]to see Adelaide
[G]How other folks live,
get [D]a job learn [G]a trade
Couldn't keep them away 'cause
their [C]hearts are still [G]here
My butcher, my welder, my [D]diesel engineer
[G]

[Verse 4]
Oh, six generations where [C]camels run [G]free
I hope I am never too [A]blind to [D]see
How [G]fortunate,
how proud can an [C]old fella [G]be
Three sons in their swags 'round
[D]the stock camp with me
[G]

[Verse 5]
And I come in for dinner,
[C]the sun hits the [G]range
In a matter of seconds the
[A]colors all [D]change
From [G]gold down to violet the
[C]soul has been [G]burned
And I understand fully why
[D]they have returned
[G]

[Verse 6]
Cause I'm into cattle,
my [D]Father was [G]too
From Great Great Grandfather
[D]all the way [G]through
And we've never been
guilty of [C]wasting daylight
[G]We work hard,
we play hard and [D]we sleep well at night
[G]

[Verse 7]
Oh, six generations where [C]camels run [G]free
I hope I am never too [A]blind [D]to see
How [G]fortunate,
how proud can an [C]old fella [G]be
Three sons in their swags 'round
[D]the stock camp with [G]me
Three sons in their swags
'round the [D]stock camp with me
[G]
