[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ Everybody [A] called him Dingo, _ _ he didn't sing my [E] name.
_ _ _ _ Aboriginal [B] and Asian blood ran 50-50 in [E] his veins.
_ _ _ _ With skin like [A] saddle leather, _ _ _ an inscrutable [E] kind of smile.
_ _ _ Beneath the brim of [B] his Akubra, _ _ he had the dream in [E] his eyes.
_ _ She had a bloodline back [A] to Europe, _ _ _ her boss's daughter Mary [E] Ann.
_ _ _ _ Home for Christmas [B] at his station, _ _ _ from a boarding [E] school in Kansas.
_ _ With such a perfect face and figure, [A] _ _ the boys would blush when she [E] walked by.
_ _ _ Behind her back they called [B] her princess, _ _ cause she had the distance in [E] her eyes.
_ _ _ [Em] Oh, the ringer [A] and the princess, _ _ [B] _ the dingo and [E] the deer.
_ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ I'll tell you [A] their story if [B] _ _ you want [E] to hear.
_ _ _ December rain fell [A] with a vengeance from _ a [E] cyclone in the Gulf.
_ _ _ _ Bone-dried gullies [B] turned to rivers, _ _ and plains became a [E] sea of mud.
_ _ So the boss brought everyone [A] together, _ _ _ the family and the [E] station hands.
_ _ To open gates and knock [B] down fences, _ _ and give the stock a [E] fighting chance.
_ _ Well, the princess, she [A] was out there, _ _ _ [E] riding right alongside the men.
_ _ _ Leading horses [B] up to safety, _ _ _ trying to bring the [E] stragglers in.
_ _ Till she heard a [A] wild commotion, _ _ a little further [E] down the way.
_ _ A mare was trying to [B] cross a gully, _ _ and its foal was being washed [E] away.
_ _ _ Now the young have always [A] been impulsive, _ _ the princess had no [E] second thoughts.
_ _ She rode her mount into [B] that gully, _ _ _ trying to save the [E] drowning horse.
_ _ But in the midst of the [A] raging waters, _ _ her pony lost its step [E] and fell.
_ _ With her foot caught [B] in the stirrup, _ _ the princess disappeared [E] as well.
_ _ _ Dingo saw the whole [A] thing happen, _ _ and like a man possessed [E] he rode.
_ _ Straight into that [B] swollen gully, _ _ _ about a hundred [E] yards below.
_ _ By the time the [A] others got there, _ _ all hope of finding her [E] was gone.
_ _ Till Dingo staggered [B] from the water, _ _ _ with the princess in [E] his arms.
_ _ _ Oh, the ringer [A] and the princess, [B] _ _ the dingo and [E] the deer.
_ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ I'll [B] tell you [A] their story, _ [F#m] _ [B] _ if you want [E] to hear it.
_ _ _ Now the princess [A] owns the station, _ _ her dad the boss has long [E] since died.
_ _ And although she [B] never married, _ _ _ Dingo's always [E] by her side.
_ _ And still the gossips [A] talk about them, _ _ _ even after [E] all these years.
_ _ About the ringer [B] and the princess, _ _ _ the dingo and [E] the deer.
_ _ _ _ About the ringer [B] and the princess, _ _ _ the dingo and [E] the deer. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
