Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (B flatdim) (B minor) (G major) Three
Bush (D major) men one morning rode (A major) up to an inn
One (B minor) of them (E minor) called (B minor) for
(F sharp minor) drinks with a grin
He'd (G major) only returned from a trip to the
North
And (D major) eager to greet them,
the land (A major) lord (Asus4) came forth
(A major) He (G major) absently poured out a
glass of three -star
And (D major) set down the drink with
the (A major) rest on (Asus4) the bar (A major)
There (D major) that is for
Harry, he (A major) said, and it's queer
It's the (B minor) very same glass
He (F sharp minor) drank from last year
His (G major) name's on the glass
You can read it like print
He (D major) scratched it himself
with an (A major) old piece of flint
I remem (G major) ber his drink
It was always three -star
And (D major) sit down to drink with
the rest (A major) on the (D major) bus
He looked at the horses
and (A major) counted but three
You (B minor) were always together, whereas
(F sharp minor) Harry cried he
Sadly (G major) they looked with
the glasses they said
He may (D major) put it away for our (A major) old mate,
he's dead
The (G major) one gazing out over ridges afar
Said we (D major) owe him a drink,
leave the glass (A major) on the (D major) bar (A major) (B flatdim) (B minor) (G major)
He (D major) thought of the faraway
grave (A major) on the plain
He (B minor) thought of the comrade,
did (F sharp minor) not come again
They (G major) lifted their glasses
and sadly they said,
We (D major) drink to the name of
our (A major) old man's dead.
And the (G major) sunlight streamed in,
A light like a star,
Seemed to (D major) glow in the depth
of the glass (A major) on the bar.
And (D major) still in that shanty,
a (A major) tumbler is seen
Stand (B minor) s by the clock,
ever pol (F sharp minor) ished and clean
And (G major) often the strangers read as they pass
The (D major) name of the bushman en
(A major) graved on the glass
Though (G major) on that shelf,
though a dozen there are
That (D major) glass never stands with the rest
on the bar (D major)
