Slim Dusty - Saddle Boy

DOREEN KEY G

Verses
          G
Thru the grey frosty dawn, 
       C
ev'ry cold winter's morn, 
           G           C    G   D7
rode this lad full of life and joy
       G 
ev'ry day just the same 
          C
down the roadway he came. 
        D7                        G
He was known as their own saddle boy. 


Last verse
         C 
Now the sad willows wave
          G
O'er the old silent grave, 
                                 D7
Where the tall grasses bend and bow. 
         G
And the jackass's laugh 
        C 
is the only epitaph 
          D7                         G 
o'er the grave of this brave saddle boy.
