Ringer From The Top End

Key: D

Introduction:

D  
I'm a ringer from the top end
                                                                     A  
Where ya gotta know your job
And what you're doin' each day
                                                          D  
Ya have to earn your pay
If ya wanna take it on
                                                                                                     G                 Em  
There's one thing that shouldn't be forgotten
  G                                            A  
Nobody can do the job
                                                                D  
Like a ringer from the top end
  A  
Out on the fence line swallowing dust
  E  
Blood on my hands from the barb
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole
  A  
Before they get him in the yard
                  D  
But I get a funny feeling in the middle of my back
  G                                                                                 Em  
Sure enough he's coming like a train down the track
  G                                                                              A  
That's when nobody else moves faster
                                                                             D  
Than the springer from the top end
  D  
I'm a ringer from the top end
                                                          A  
Where ya gotta muster 3 thousand head in a day
                                                                                                                                D  
Move 'em to the yards and water them at end of day
It's not the sort of job you'd take
                                                                     G              Em  
If you're looking for a soft one
  G                                                                            A  
But ya take a kinda pride in saying
                                                             D  
I'm a ringer from the top end
  A  
Well I roll out my swag 'neath the boab tree
  E  
And then I'm out like a light
Dreaming about those girls in town
  A  
Next thing it's broad daylight
  D  
No time to dream of what might have been
                                G                                                                 Em  
I'm in a dirty bull catcher with the mustering team
  G                                                                         A  
I better keep my mind on the job
                                                                                  D  
'Cause I'm a ringer from the top end
  G                                                              A  
And nobody does the job better
                                                                  D  
Than a ringer from the top end
