F C/E Dm
The late George Woolnough worked on high street and lived on manners
Bb F/A C
Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
Bb C/Bb Am7 C/D
And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs
Bb/C
You?d just ask the saddler
C7 C7sus4
He lived without sin; they?re building a library for him
F Bb/C C7
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
C7sus4 Gm7 C7sus4 F
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
F C/E Dm
The son of George Woolnough went off and got married and had a war baby
Bb F/A C
Though something was wrong and it?s easier to drink than go crazy
Bb C/Bb Am7 Dm7
And if there was questions about why the end was so sad,
C7sus4 C7 C7sus4 F
Well George had no answers about why a son ever has need of a gun
F Gm7 C7sus4 Gm7 C7
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7 F Cmin7/F
Ride again jackaroo think I see kangaroo up ahead
F C A7/C# Dm
The grandson of George has been all around the world and lives in no special place
Bb F/C C/E
Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face
Bb C/Bb Am7 Dm7
He?d almost forgotten them both because in the life that he leads
C7sus4 C7 Dm7/A
There?s nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong
Gm7 C7sus4
Except in this song
F Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler turn your head
Gm7 C7 F Gm7 C7
Ride again jackaroo think I see kangaroo up ahead
