John Williamson - Three Sons guitar chord
Three Sons - John Williamson
G D G
I'm into cattle, my Father was too
G D G
From Great Great Grandfather all the way through
G C G
And we scarcely have wasted an hour of daylight
G D G Strum from here
Stickin' to Herefords and it's been all right
G D G
Prepared for the lean times and save for a drought
G D G
But you can't always plan how the future turns out
G C G
Life's gettin' harder to make what we need
G D G
With low cattle prices and more mouths to feed
(refrain)
G C G
Oh, six generations where camels run free
G A D
I hope I am never too blind to see
G C G
How fortunate, how proud can an old fella be
G D G
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me
Instrumental
G D G
G D G
Sent the boys off to school to see Adelaide
G D G
How other folks live, get a job learn a trade
G C G
Couldn't keep them away 'cause their hearts are still here
G D G
My butcher, my welder, my diesel engineer
(refrain)
G C G
Oh, six generations where camels run free
G A D
I hope I am never too blind to see
G C G
How fortunate, how proud can an old fella be
G D G
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me
G C G
And I come in for dinner, the sun hits the range
G A D
In a matter of seconds the colours all change
G C G
From gold down to violet the soul has been burned
G D G
And I understand fully why they have returned
G D G
Cause I'm into cattle, my Father was too
G D G
From Great Great Grandfather all the way through
G C G
And we've never been guilty of wasting daylight
G D G
We work hard, we play hard and we sleep well at night
(refrain)
G C G
Oh, six generations where camels run free
G A D
I hope I am never too blind to see
G C G
How fortunate, how proud can an old fella be
G D G
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me
G D G
Three sons in their swags 'round the stock camp with me
Ending G
Just a quick note: This is my first chord effort ever. Start the song off with
single strokes or just pick the notes until the last G on the first verse.
I am pleased to have completed one of Johns songs first as he is one of my
favourite artist, song writers.
Have fun! And remember, to keep it country
