Tenterfield Saddler

by Peter Allan

The late George Wool-nough worked on High street

DBBCBAABA

and lived on manners

F#GGAG

Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made

CCCCABBBCBDA

his saddles. And if you had questions `bout sheep

ABAF#GGGG+F#+F#+F#+

or flowers or dogs you`d just ask the saddler

E+F#+E+D+D+DABBBA

He lived without sin theyre building a li-bry

GABCADABCAG

for him

F#G

CHORUS
Time is a traveler Tenterfield Saddler turn your

ABBABBABBABBBA

head. Ride again jackaroo think I see kangaroo

AGAAGAAGAABAG

up ahead

AGG

The son of George Woolnough went off and got

DBBBCBGAAA

married and had a war baby

BAF#GGGGAG

Though something was wrong and it`s easier to
b-2 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 5 5 5
drink than go crazy

BAGGAA

And if there were questions about why the end was

AGGGG+F#+F#+F#+F#+E+F#+E+E+

so sad, well George had no answers about why a

D+D+DGABBAAABC

son ever has need of a gun

AABCAGF#G

CHORUS
The grand-son of George has been all around the

DBBBCBBBAAA

world and lives no special place

BAAAGGG

Changed his last name and he married a girl with

CCCD+CCCBBBBB

an int`resting face

BBAAA

He`d almost forgotten them both because in the

AGGGG+F#+F#+F#+F#+F#+E+D+

life that he leads, there`s nowhere for George

E+D+D+D+D+GGABB

and his libr`y or the son with his gun to belong

AAAADDBAAAAGG

except in this song

DBAGAG
