THE DYING STOCKMAN (chrom)
By: Horace Flower
Australian folk song
Key: D
Time: 3/4

-33 -2* -2*   -2*    3   -3   3 -2* -3
A strap-ping young stock-man lay dy-ing
-3 -4 -4  -4   -3  -2* -1   2
A sad-dle sup-port-ing his head
-3   3  -2*  -2* -2*  3   -3   3   -2* -3
And his com-rades a-round him were cry-ing
-3 -3  -4   4* -5 -2*  3   2   -1
As he leant on his el-bow and said
 -3  3 -2* -2*-2*  3    -3   3   -2* -3
Wrap me up in my stock whip and blan-ket
-3  -4 -4 -4  -3   -2* -1  2
And bur-y me deep down be-low
 -3    3  -2*  -2*  3    3
Where the din-goes and crows 
 -3   3   -2* -3
will not find me
-3 -3   -4     4*  -5  -2* 3   2    -1
in the shade where the coo-li-bahs grow
