F C Dm
The late George Woolnough, worked on High Street and lived on Manners
Bb F 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
C11 C7 C7sus F
You just asked the saddler, he lived without sin, they're building a library for him
[Chorus]
F
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
C11 C7
Turn your head
C11 Gm7 F
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
[Verse 2]
F C Dm
The son of George Woollnough 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 Am7 Dm7
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
C11 C7 C7sus F
Well George had no answers, about why a son, ever has need of a gun
[Chorus]
F
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
Gm7 C11
Turn your head
Gm7 C11 F Cm7
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead
[Verse 3]
F C A7/C# Dm
The grandson of George has been all around the world and lives no special place
Bb F C/E
Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face
Bb C Am7 Dm7
He'd almost forgotten them both because of the life that he leads
C11 C7 C11 Dm/A Gm7
There's nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong
C11 F
Except in this song
[Chorus]
F
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
Turn your head
Gm7 C11 F D
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead, oh!
G
Time is a meddler, Tenterfield Saddler
Am7 D7
Make your bed
Am7 D11 G
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead
G
Time is a tale teller, Tenterfield Saddler
Am7 D7
Turn your head
Am7 D11 G
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead, oh!
G
Time is a tale teller, Tenterfield Saddler
Am7 D7
Make your bed
Am7 D11 G
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead
