West Of Winton chords

Capo 2nd Fret

[G]His eyes were used to distance and he talked much with his[D] hands
[D]I guess he sort of felt hemmed in a stranger to this [G]land
[G]And a lifestyle of another time, another time and pl[D]ace
[D]Was written there deep in the lines of this old bushmans [G]face

[G]His attire was still in keeping with the far out channel [D]lands
[D]There was still a strength of character in his hard old bushman's [G]hands
[G]And his old hat tilted forward was as much a part o[D]f him
[D]As the 80 years of livin' that showed, underneath the[G] brim

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [G]

[G]Just somewhere west of Winton mate is where I'd rather [D]be
[D]To ride out in the dawn time, Mitchell to my horses[G] knee
[G]Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten[D] camp
[D]If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse[G] stamp

[G]Just to see again the sunsets as the night falls on the l[D]and
[D]Oh the silent sound of beauty makes the proudest heart e[G]xpand
[G]Where the lights of some old homestead beam a warm and welcome[D] glow
[G]And no travellin' soul went hungry in those days of lon[G]g ago

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[D] [G]

[G]I see a dried up sandy creek bed when the dry comes much to[D]o soon
[D]Watch the wild mob paw for water 'neath an early rising [G]moon
[G]Maybe I'll see the dust cloud rising from the travellin' mob[D] again
[D]Hear the whips crack on the tailers as they cross the open p[G]lain

[G]Just somewhere west of Winton mate is where I'd rathe[D]r be
[D]To ride out in the dawn time, Mitchell to my horses[G] knee
[G]Unroll my swag beside a fire of some long forgotten[D] camp
[D]If I listen close maybe I'll hear a tethered night horse [G]stamp
