[Intro]
G
[Verse]
N.C. G
He was lean as the old dog that walked by his side
And as tough as the tie-strap he wore
his face was a legend of living it hard
and his years numbered more than three score
His old eyes had seen more than we'll ever know
of the far reaches of the inland
He was part of this country, it surely did show
like the scars on his work hardened hands
[Verse]
From the high crowned old felt hat that sat on his head
to the scuffed and worn heels of his boots
with his sweat-caked spring legging and old faded jeans
he was outback down to the grass roots
and his old, checkered shirt with the collar all frayed
and the yard dust and flies on his back
as he took out the makings before he sat down
I know this was a man you could back
[Interlude]
G E
[Verse]
He talked long and low of the country he'd seen
and the changes that came with the years
of the ne’er ending battle of living out here,
the hardships, the heartbreak, and tears
the big droughts that took over and crippled the land
and dust storms with no sign of rain
The creeks and the dams long empty and dry,
And you wonder would they e’er fill again
[Verse]
he drew maps in the dust of the country he'd known
where water was sure to be found
pinpointed landmarks, should someone go wrong
the type terrain all around
where the wild horses watered by light of the moon
and the gorges where old pikers feed
their pads not as deep as they were years ago
oh, they’re part of a vanishing breed
[Interlude]
A G
[Verse]
we got up and shook hands he said, “so long mate”,
with his hat, knocked the dust off his jeans
stamped on the butt, grounded into the dust,
old habits die hard to it seems
his old frame seemed must straighter as he walked away,
there was nought I could give him he'd need
he was part of our history that shaped this old land,
yes, part of a vanishing breed
[Tag]
he was part of our history, that shaped this old land,

part of a vanishing breed.
