D G D
You may talk of the ringer from Queensland,
A
The big shearing gun from the west,
They are men who have proven their value,
E7 A7
Whenever they're put to the test,
D G D
But if you ever looked to the mountains,
E
And the south where it snows and it rains,
A
Have you thought of the men from the Snowy,
D
And the cattlemen from the high plains.
G
From the high plains away above Dargo
D B7
In the alps where the snow daisy grows.
E
Where the wild mountain herds are grazin'
A7
Beneath the shadow of mountains of snow,
D G D
Where the cattlemen search every cranny,
E
When they muster at each summer's end,
A
In their rain batter hats and their oil skins,
D
From the high plains, come real cattlemen,
[Chorus]
G
They're a part of Australia's history,
D B7
Their heritage all be the same,
A7
If nobody cares what is happening,
D
To the cattlemen from the high plains.
[Intrumental]
|A7 |D | ||
D G D
After one fifty years they can take it,
A7
All the hardship the mountains can give,
They hand onto each generation,
E7 A7
Their caring, their live and let live,
D G D
All the steep mountain tracks and the gullies,
E7
Which one knows like the palm of his hand,
A7
There's no room here for too many new chums
D
In the mountain cattleman's land.
G
So I guess that you'll never believe me,
D B7
When you hear what they're plannin' to do,
E
Down in town, mate, they're writin' the law now,
A7
That the man from the high plains must go,
D G D
Take his herds from the mountains and ridges,
E7
Leave the land where his forefathers reigned,
A
With the sweep of the pen they want to write out,
D
The cattlemen from the high plains,
[Chorus]
G
They're a part of Australia's history,
D B7
Their heritage all be the same,
A7
If nobody cares what is happening,
D
To the cattlemen from the high plains.

A7
Just a bit more freedom goes with them,
The cattlemen from the high...
