[Intro]

[Verse]
C G
Oh, they'd mustered all the cattle on the Innamincka run,
F G
And also on Cordilla Downs the same thing had been done,
C F
They shifted all the cows an' calves, the bullocks and the steers,
C G C
The biggest bank tell muster job for many, many years.
G C
Oh the Diamantina channels and the lignum now are bare
F G
Some wide eyed long horned pikers were all they'd left out there,
C F
Next day the helicopters came and cleared them from the run,
C G C
The mickeys didn't stand a chance, they shot 'em one by one.
G
Disease and blight had struck the herd, the beasts all had to go,
F G
To save the export market and increase the money flow,
C F
Though it wasn't a very pretty scene to see the pikers fall,
C G C
And pilot of the chopper, didn't like the job at all.
G C
And the stockmen riding shotgun did his best to keep it clean,
F G
He tried his best for one shot kills to ease the grizzly scene,
C F
But soon the job was over and the land allowed to spell,
C G C
Once again the stony desert had a tragic tale to tell.
[Instrumental]

D A
They wait now for the seasons to rejuvenate the land,
G A
Restock again with breeders and keep them well in hand,
D G
Oh the flood plains then will prosper and the blight will be no more,
D A D
Once more the stockmen riding, like they used to do before.
A D
And the cattle camps be busy with a new and stronger breed,
G A
As they muster through the lignum where the cattle love to feed,
D G
Through the sand hills of Cordilla or the Innamincka Plains,
D A D
Once more we'll see the stockmen's hands rest slightly on the reins.
A
At the Innamincka muster, there were choppers in the sky,
G A
Cattle country gun ships with the rifleman on high,
D G
Oh the pikers didn't stand a chance, cattle war was won,
D A D
Beside the stony desert where they shot 'em one by one.
A D
Old timers had another way, they'd very seldom fail,
G A
To block the way with mickey, and throw him by the tail,
D G
But now the ringer's airborne, helicopters on the go,
D A D
In the Diamantina country where the channels waters flow.
A G G A D
Where the channels waters flow.
