Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]She[F]s m[G]y m[F]oth[C]er,
she's my aunty, she is [F]many that I've [C]known
The [F]backbone of the [C]bush,
where [D]country kids [G]have grown
She's [C]raised and she's nurtured
those [F]children of her [C]own
While her [F]man does his [G]battles
on [F]the land[C]

[Verse 2]
And he [F]comes in from the shear[C]ing,
still [G]aching in [C]the back
The [F]kids are finally [C]tucked away,
her [D]days are never [G]slack
But she [C]makes it look so easy,
as she [F]cooks him up [C]a storm
That un[F]selfish,
unsung [G]hero of the land.
[F][C][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[F][C]
She's keeping books, she's nursing,
raising [F]money for [C]the town,
[F]She's the last one stand[C]ing,
[D]when all is falling [G]down,
Fe[C]rocious as a tiger to de
[F]fend her little [C]clan,
My [F]hero the [G]wo man on the [F]land.[C]

[Verse 4]
So [F]I propose a[C] toast,
to the [G]mothers that [C]we know
[F]Proud to be the [C]better half,
who [D]really run the [G]show
And [C]if you shed a tear boys,
[F]I will understand
[C]To our her[F]o the wo[G]
man on the [F]land
Instru[C]mental
[F][C][F][G]

[Verse 5]
[F][C]
And he [F]comes in from the har[C]vest,
a [G]disappointing [C]yield
He's [F]tired and [C]he's dusty,
twelve [D]hours in the [G]field
And al[C]though her day's been difficult,
she [F]greets him with a [C]smile
That un[F]selfish,
unsung [G]hero of the [F]land.[C]

[Verse 6]
So [F]I propose a[C] toast,
to the [G]mothers that [C]we know
[F]Proud to be the [C]better half,
[D]who really run the [G]show
And [C]if you shed a tear boys,
[F]I will unders[C]tand
To our [F]hero the [G]wo man
on the land
[F][C]

[Verse 7]
[F][C]
To our [F]hero, the [G]woman on [F]the land.
