[Intro]
A E
D A
[Verse]
A
With horse bells to keep me company and the waters to flow near me,
E
Just an axe mark on a gidgee, I don't want no fancy grave,
Somewhere out there on the Cooper, there's a quiet spot near the nine mile,
A A7
Where the ringers go each muster, when the gidgee blossoms wave.
[Verse]
D
Let the wild horse and the clean skin and the brown bee in the clover,
E
Let the wood duck and the emu, all bear witness to my tomb,
Near that quiet spot at the nine mile make an axe mark on a gidgee,
A
Let my shrine be always centred, by the western gidgee blooms.

[Verse]
A
Make an axe mark on a gidgee, I've no wish for marble headstones,
E
I've no kin in distant places, who may shed a tear and claim,
I was someone who I wasn't, well you know the way I feel mate,
A A7
Just an axe mark on a gidgee and initials for my name.
[Verse]
D
And in the middle of each muster, when the camp is by the nine mark,
E
When the steers are being ready and those sand hills flowers wave,
Try and find the time one evenin' to come by where I'll be sleeping
A
Where an axe mark on a gidgee by the Cooper marks my grave.
[Interlude]

Let the wild horse and the clean skin and the brown bee in the clover,

Let the wood duck and the emu, all bear witness to my tomb,
Near that quiet spot at the nine mile make an axe mark on a gidgee,

Let my shrine be always centred, by the western gidgee blooms.
