Verse 1
G 
It's been over 30 years
D 
G 
since he first started out
C 
Writin' singin' country songs
about what things about
D 
They all reckon he was just
a simple country lout
G 
But he's a legend
They still talk about the way
D 
G 
that he's still chasin' skirts
C 
He grabs them from their boyfriends,
he's a killer, that's for certain.
D 
I feel sorry for their dates,
G 
it must really hurt, but he's a legend.
D 
G 
D 
Then there's demolition derbies,
G 
you race round on four wheels.
C 
Trying your best to wreck a car,
you don't know how it feels.
D 
But he don't need no racetrack,
when he does it, it's for real,
G 
cause he's a le gend.
D 
G 
He's plied his hand at pushin' trucks
or at cuttin' cane
C 
Or at the other end of a cross -cut saw,
ooh, the bloody pain
D 
And chasin' cattle in the scrub,
G 
but he'd do it all again, see the legend
At the wise old age of four,
his schoolin' did begin
C 
And readin' phantom's comics
put the learnin' into him
D 
But you'd be surprised at the mongrels
that went to school with him.
G 
You see, he's a legend.
Yeah, he's a legend all right,
the old mongrel.
You should see him
and the people that have...
You've no idea.
You know, they went to school with him.
They were in the Air For
D 
G 
ce with him.
D 
They were in the Army with him.
They were in the Navy with him.
They got drunk with him.
Some of them even slept...
Girlfriends slept with him.
he's kicked a few dogs in the ribs
every now and again.
They should cut the mongrels' throat,
but I haven't got a knife big enough
or sharp enough
because he's a legend, you know.
Poor old fella,
I feel sorry for him now
because he's got to finish work
G 
and he's got to take off
and he's going to slip down the hole
G 
at the end of this record.
