Bushwackers - Ballad of 1891 Chords

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [A] The price of war was fought _ _ [G] in _ _ [Am] 1891, _ [D] and [A] now the men who own the [C] acres, they [D] said something
must be [Am] done, so [D] we [A] will break the shearers' union, we [F] will show we're masters [G] still, _ and
they [A] will take [G] the terms we [C] give them, for we will [D] find the men [A] who will.
_ [G] From [A] Claremont
to _ _ Bardcaulden, all [G] those shearing camps were [A] full, _ [G] and ten [A] thousand bloody's, [C] they were
ready there to [D] strip the creasy [Am] wool, _ and [A] through the west, [G] [A] like thunder, _ [F] rang out the
shearers' [G] call, well [Am] those sheds of [G] fish [C] are union, or they [D] won't be sure [A] at all.
_ [Bm] _
[C] Now _ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Billy
Lane, he was with us there, and [G] his words were like [Am] a flame, _ so we hoisted up our [C] flag
of stars, and we [G] spoke Eureka's [D] name, [Am] _ well tomorrow, said the squatters, _ you [F] will find
that does not [G] pay, _ for we [Am] are bringing [Em] up [C] scab labourers, they [Dm] will take our clip [A] away, _ _
for tomorrow, [Am] said the shearers, _ [G] you's may not be [Am] so keen, _ for we will mount three thousand
[C] rifles, then we [Dm] will show you what we [Am] mean, but [G] we [Am] will pack the west with troopers, all
the way from [F] Bourke to Charters [G] Towers, you [Am] can have [A] your [Bm] bill of [C] speeches, _ but [D] the final
say [Am] is house, a big damn to your shooters, and [G] your rifles and your [Am] police, _ for [A] your
sheep, they are [C] growing heavy now, and [Dm] the burr is in their [Am] fleece, and [G] that [A] northern
felt, and [Am] Gatling gun, they [F] won't bring you to [G] your knees, we [Am] will find a [Bm] law, [C] the squatters
said, [Dm] that's made for times [Am] like these. _

_ _ _ [A] A trial at Rockout, _ [G] some fourteen men [A] were brought, _ [G] [A] now the judge, he'd [C] had his orders,
_ [D] for the squatters, they [Am] own the court, but for every man that was sentenced, there's
[F] one thousand who won't [G] forget, that when [Am] they jail a [G] man [C] for striking, _ [D] it's a rich man's
[Am] country, yes, when they jail [Bm] a man [C] for striking, it's [D] a rich man's [A] country, yes.
