Anne Kirkpatrick - Auctioneer guitar chord

Auctioneer

By Anne Kirkpatrick (Slim Dusty's daughter)

CHORUS

A D

Auctioneer, Auctioneer

A

Bring that hammer down

G A

Take my family and smash it apart

D

Well its just a few machines

A

and a little piece of land

G A

Bring that hammer down on my heart.

A D

Well his family's been here

A

for 70 years or more

D

his grandad cleared the land

E

with just an old wood saw

D

heard him crying late last night

A

when he thought I wasn't round

G A

I'm sorry grandad I let you down

CHORUS A D A G A

Well there's acres and acres

of wheat in the sun

my hearts aching and aching

for the work that should be done

now the banks stopped the cheques

and no one wants the crop

and its breaking my heart to watch it rot

CHORUS A D A G A D A G A

After harvest rain and flood

and years and years of drought

now the interest rates are gonna finally wipe us out

they say its not our fault

its just the world economy

but he blames himself

cause were down on our knee's.

CHORUS X 2 (2ND TIME NO MUSIC EXCEPT FOR SINGLE STRUMS ON LAST LINE)
