To an old mate chords by Slim Dusty
Verse 1
D
A
D
G
All made in the gusty old weather
A
D
When our hopes and our troubles were new
G
In the years spent in wearing out leather
I found you unselfish and true
A
G
D
I have gathered these verses together
B
E
A
D
For the sake of our friendship and you
You may think for a while
G
and with reason
A
Though still with a kindly regret
D
G
That I've left it for late in the season
To prove I remember you yet
A
G
But you'll never judge
D
me by that reason
B
E
A
Who profit by friends and forget
D
G
A
D
I can still feel
G
the spirit that bore us
A
D
And often the old stars will shine
G
I remember the last freeing chorus
A
For the sake of that other langsign
G
D
When the tracks lay divided before us
B
E
Your path through the fu
A
D
ture and mine
Through the frost wind that
G
cut like whiplashes
A
Through the ever -blind
D
haze of the drought
G
And in fancy at times by the flashes
A
Of light in the darkness of doubt
G
D
I have followed the tent poles and ashes
B
E
A
Of camps that we moved
D
G
A
D
further out
G
You will find in these pages a trace of
A
D
That side of our past that was bright
G
And recognise something the face of
A
A friend who has dropped out of sight
G
D
I send them along in the place of
B
E
A
D
The letters I promised to write
Yeah, homemade in the
G
gusty old weather
A
D
When our hopes and our troubles were new
In the years spent in wearing out
G
A
leather I found you unselfish and true
G
D
I have gathered these verses together
B
E
For the sake of our
A
D
friendship and new pleasure
