[Verse]
D A7
Will you ever stop singing Chad, old mate, do you think you might retire?
D
Lie right back in grandpa's chair in front of the open fire
G
When you reach the 70's, Chad, I thought that might be it
D A7 D
You're just like a young bloke champing at the bit.
[Verse]
D A7
I'll never retire John, old mate, this stage I'll never leave
D
I'll push out another song, old mate, as long as I can breathe
G
As long as there's a sunrise, I'll always tune me throat
D A7 D
As long as the fish are biting, mate, I'll never leave the boat
[Chorus]
G D
Ah that's what it's like to be a Country Balladeer
G D
It'll never up and leave you lonely
G D
There's nothing new about it it's like old Uluru
A7 D
So don't you go changing, mate, I'll thump you if you do.
[Verse]
D A7
Do you think you'll drop the guitar, John, leave it in the case
D
Head into the hills and disappear without a trace
G
If you reach a hundred albums, mate, they'll tell you that's enough
D A7 D
No you'll be just the same as me and I don't give a stuff
[Verse]
D A7
You've hit the nail on the head, Chad, you've got me to a tee
D
I'm part of the guitar and it's a part of me
G
No matter where I go, Chad, I've got it in the ute
D A7 D
Call me one-track minded I don't give a hoot
[Chorus]
