Tenterfield Saddler Chords & Lyrics by Peter Allen
Tenterfield Saddler
guitar chords lyrics
[Bb] And if you had questions about [C/Bb] sheep or flowers [Am7] or dogs [C/D]
You'd just ask the [Bb/C] saddler
He lived without [C7] sin... they're [C7sus4] building a library for him
[F] Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler [Bb/C] turn your [C7] head
[C7sus4] Ride again jackaroo [Gm7] think I see [C7sus4] kanga [F] roo up ahead
[F] The son of George Woolnough [C/E] went off and got married [Dm] and had a war baby
[Bb] Though something was wrong and [F/A] it's easier to drink than [C] go crazy
[Bb] And if there was questions about [C/Bb] why the end [Am7] was so [Dm7] sad,
Well George had [C7sus4] no answers about [C7] why a son
[C7sus4] ever has need [F] of a gun
[F] Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler [Gm7] turn [C7sus4] your head [Gm7] [C7]
[Gm7] Ride again [C7] jackaroo [Gm7] think I [C7] see kanga [F] roo up ahead [Cm7/F]
[F] The grandson of George has [C] been all around
[A7/C#] the world and lives in no [Dm] special place
[Bb] Changed his last name and [F/C] he married a girl with an [C/E] interesting face
[Bb] He'd almost forgotten [C/Bb] them both
Because in [Am7] the life that he [Dm7] leads
There's nowhere [C7sus4] for George and [C7] his library or the son with his [Dm7/A] gun
to belong
[Gm7] Except in [C7sus4] this song
[F] Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler [Gm7] turn [C7] your [Gm7] head [C7]
[Gm7] Ride again [C7] jackaroo think I see [F] kangaroo up [Gm7] ahead [C7]
The late George Woolnough worked on high street and lived on manners
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
