Three Sons John Williamson
[G]I'm into cattle, my [D]Father was [G]too
[G]From Great Great Grandfather [D]all the way [G]through
[G]And we scarcely have wasted an [C]hour of day[G]light
G D G Strum from here
Stickin' to Herefords and it's been all right
[G]Prepared for the lean times and [D]save for a [G]drought
[G]But you can't always plan how the [D]future turns [G]out
[G]Life's gettin' harder to [C]make what we [G]need
[G]With low cattle prices and [D]more mouths to [G]feed
(refrain)
[G]Oh, six generations where [C]camels run [G]free
[G]I hope I am never too [A]blind to [D]see
How [G]fortunate, how proud can an [C]old fella [G]be
[G]Three sons in their swags 'round the [D]stock camp with [G]me
Instrumental
[G] [D] [G]
[G]Sent the boys off to school to [D]see Adel[G]aide
[G]How other folks live, get a j[D]ob learn a [G]trade
[G]Couldn't keep them away '[C]cause their hearts are still [G]here
[G]My butcher, my welder, my [D]diesel engi[G]neer
(refrain)
[G]Oh, six generations where [C]camels run [G]free
[G]I hope I am never too [A]blind to [D]see
How [G]fortunate, how proud can an [C]old fella [G]be
[G]Three sons in their swags 'round the [D]stock camp with [G]me
[G]And I come in for dinner, the s[C]un hits the r[G]ange
[G]In a matter of seconds the co[A]lours all c[D]hange
[G]From gold down to violet the s[C]oul has been [G]burned
[G]And I understand fully why th[D]ey have re[G]turned
[G]Cause I'm into cattle, my [D]Father was [G]too
[G]From Great Great Grandfather [D]all the way [G]through
[G]And we've never been guilty of [C]wasting day[G]light
[G]We work hard, we play hard and we [D]sleep well at [G]night
(refrain)
[G]Oh, six generations where [C]camels run [G]free
[G]I hope I am never too [A]blind to [D]see
How [G]fortunate, how proud can an [C]old fella [G]be
[G]Three sons in their swags 'round the [D]stock camp with [G]me
[G]Three sons in their swags 'round the [D]stock camp with [G]me
