F                     C                          Dm
The late George Woolnough, worked on High Street and lived on Manners
Bb                  F                                 C
Fifty- two years he sat on his verandah, and made his saddles
    Bb                         C/Bb                Am7    C/D
And if you had questions about sheep or flowers or dogs
                   C11                       C7           C7sus                  F
You just asked the saddler, he lived without sin, they're building a library for him


[Chorus]
F
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
C11              C7
Turn your head
C11                              Gm7      F
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead


[Verse 2]
    F                             C                       Dm
The son of George Woollnough went off and got married and had a war baby
       Bb                           F/A                     C
Though something was wrong and it's easier to drink than go crazy
    Bb                            C                  Am7    Dm7
And if there were questions about why the end was so sad
                   C11                  C7   C7sus              F
Well George had no answers, about why a son, ever has need of a gun


[Chorus]
F
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
Gm7       C11    
Turn your head
Gm7                  C11                  F           Cm7
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead


[Verse 3]
    F                           C              A7/C#           Dm
The grandson of George has been all around the world and lives no special place
Bb                           F                      C/E
Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face
     Bb                    C                                Am7    Dm7
He'd almost forgotten them both because of the life that he leads
                    C11            C7             C11          Dm/A     Gm7 
There's nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong
  C11          F
Except in this song


[Chorus]
F
Time is a traveller, Tenterfield saddler
Gm7       C7     Gm7   C7 
Turn your head
Gm7                  C11                  F         D
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead, oh!

G
Time is a meddler, Tenterfield Saddler
Am7       D7
Make your bed
Am7                D11                    G
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead

G
Time is a tale teller, Tenterfield Saddler
Am7       D7
Turn your head
Am7                  D11                  G
Ride again jackaroo, think I see kangaroo up ahead, oh!

G
Time is a tale teller, Tenterfield Saddler
Am7       D7
Make your bed
Am7                  D11                  G
Fly away cockatoo, down on the ground emu up ahead
