Lachlan Tigers

[Verso 1] Am G Well, at each gate each shearer stood as the whistle loudly blew, Dm Am E With eyebrows fixed and lips compressed the tigers all fed too. Am F C Em You can hear the clicking of the shears as through the wool they glide Am Em Am F Am G Am You see the gun already turned hes on the whipping side. [Refrão] Am G A lot of Lachlan tigers, it's plain to see we are, Dm Am E Hark to our Burly ringer as he loudly calls for tar.
