[C]
At [G] Taranah, near Bathurst, in [C] the mid-west of the state,
A little [G] foal was born [C] one day in [G] 1968.
[F] They called [G] him Hombo Grattan, [C] and although [G] he wasn't tall,
[F] It soon [C] became quite clear [F] he was the gamest of them all.
But [G] Brown attracted Tony, the Turnbull of the West,
[C] Who [G] in the local trotting [C] world is known as [G] just the best.
[F] And Tony [G] saw in Hombo [C] a wonder [G] horse and train,
[F] With a heart the [C] size of Bathurst, lots of courage and a frame.
Go, go, [G] go, you [C] little beauty, little Hombo!
[F] Go, go, [G] go, the [C] clans all cheer!
Go, go, [G] go, you [C] little beauty, you're the [G] champion of [C] the year!
This little brown [G] from Bathurst is loved by [G] young and old,
[C] For [G] miles around the district [C] there are stories being [F] told.
Cause now he's [G] known as our horse [C] in country [G] wayside pubs,
Restricted by [C]
communities and toasted at the clubs.
[D#] When you look at the little fella, you don't believe what he can [B] do.
He doesn't look a champion, but he is through and through.
[F] Man and horse combine [G] to prove again [C] with skill what can [G] be done.
To the crowds throughout Australia, [C] Hombo Grattan's number one.
[F] Go, go, [C] go, you [C] little beauty, little Hombo!
Go, [G] go, go, the [C] clans all cheer!
[F] Go, [G] go, go, you [C] little beauty, you're the [G] champion [C] of the year!
The [G] Sydney Edda Dominion [C] [G] proved he was the best,
Then Tony set the little [C] brown by far his [G] toughest test.
[F] They had to [G] beat two minutes [C] over the [G] measured mile.
When the mighty might beat the forthright [C] blight, the facing clans went wild.
And [G] now at Gloucester Park in [C] February [G] 1974,
Little Hondo has achieved a goal [C] no baser [G] has before.
[F] From fifteen [G] metres back he led [C] the inner [G] dominion home.
That's two consecutive goal cups and [C] first place in the hall of fame.
Go, go, [G] go, you [C] little beauty, little Hondo!
Go, go, go, the clans all cheer!
Go, go, [G] go, you [C] little beauty, you're the [G] champion of [C] the year!
