Peter Allen - Tenterfield Saddler

The late George Woolnough worked on high street and lived on manners

Fifty two years he sat on his verandah and made his saddles
Bb                                                 C/Bb                     Amin7   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                      Gmin7       C7sus4    F
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead

F                                                C/E                                          Dmin     
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                 Amin7     Dmin7
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                                                             Gmin7   C7sus4  Gmin7  C7

Ride again jackaroo think I see kangaroo up ahead

F                                                     C                  A7/C#                                     Dmin
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                         Amin7                    Dmin7
He’d almost forgotten them both because in the life that he leads
                                 C7sus4            C7                                               Dmin7/A
There’s nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong
Gmin7   C7sus4
Except in this song

F                                                             Gmin7        C7  Gmin7  C7
