C G
Three bushman one morning rode up to an Inn
Am Em
And one of them called for drinks with a grin
F
They'd only returned from a trip to the north
C G
And eager to greet them the landlord came forth
Fmaj7
He absently poured out a glass of three star
C G
And set down the drink with the rest on the bar
C G
There that is for Harry he said and it's queer
Am Em
Tis' the very same glass he drank from last year
F
His name's on the glass you can read it like print
C G
He scratched it himself with an old piece of flint
Fmaj7
I remember his drink it was always three star
C G C
He set down the drink with the rest on the bar
C G
He looked at the horses and counted but three
Am Em
You were always together where's Harry cried he
F
Oh sadly they looked at the glass as they said
C G
You may put it away for our old mate is dead
Fmaj7
But one glazing out over the ridges afar
C G C
Said we owe him a drink leave the glass on the bar
Instr: C G Am C F
C G
They thought of the far away grave on the plain
Am Em
They thought of the comrade who'd not come again
F
They lifted their glasses and sadly they said
C G
We drink to the name of our old mate who's dead
Fmaj7
And the sunlight streamed in and a light like a star
C G
Seemed to glow in the depth of the glass on the bar
C G
And still in that shanty a tumbler is seen
Am Em
It stands by the clock ever polished and clean
F
And often the strangers will read as they pass
C G
The name of the bushman engraved on the glass
Fmaj7
And though on that shelf though a dozen there are
C G C
That glass never stands with the rest on the bar
