Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
With trucks  (C major) and
road trains taken over,
G 
the  (G major) drover is being pushed out
and the old tracks are seldom
C 
used anymore.  (C major) 
This song is dedicated to the drovers of yesterday,
G 
an (G major) d  today,
and to the last of the great
droving stock routes
C 
to Georgin (C major) a,
G 
which begins  (G major) at Lake Nash
near Mount Isa
and ends near Bourke
C 
in western New South Wales.  (C major) 
I was born in the saddle,
F 
born into a life I'll never leave.  (F major) 
C 
G 
The  (C major) life  (G major) of the drover
C 
will always be the only life for me.  (C major) 
Like my father before,
F 
I've ridden every stock route in the land  (F major) 
C 
G 
From  (C major) the  (G major) canning to the birdshole track,
C 
I know them like the back of my hand  (C major) 
F 
They call me Georgina's  (F major) son,
C 
the last one in a long proud family line  (C major) 
G 
I'm the  (G major) Georgina's son,
comin' back to ride the old track
C 
one more time  (C major) 
F 
From Lake Nash  (F major) to the Blackstump,
C 
this run's for the sake of old Lang's  (C major) eye
G 
The  (G major) Georgina's son is comin' back
C 
G 
C 
to see the old girl one last time  (C major)  (G major)  (C major) 
I have seen me some changes
F 
in fifty years of fifteen miles a day  (F major) 
G 
With droughts  (G major) and floods
and midnight rushes
C 
trying to take my life along the way  (C major) 
And I'm still in the saddle,
still trying to settle down
F 
some restless moan  (F major) 
G 
Stirred  (G major) up by the distant roar
of a diesel in the night
C 
Another duffer out to get my job  (C major) 
F 
They call me Georgina's  (F major) son
C 
The last one in a long proud family line  (C major) 
G 
I'm the  (G major) Georgina's son
Comin' back to ride the old track
C 
one more time  (C major) 
F 
From Lake Nash  (F major) to the Black Stump
C 
This runs for the sake of auld lang  (C major) syne
G 
Cos Georgina's  (G major) son's coming back
C 
To see the old girl one last time  (C major) 
F 
From Lake Nash  (F major) to the Black Stump
This runs for the sake of auld
C 
G 
lang syne  (C major)  (G major) 
Georgina's son's coming back
