[Fm]
On the night the old man died, his daughter let the [Bb] stallions ride, and soon he sensed that something [Fm] had gone wrong.
He turned towards the house and he flung his head back high, [Bb] and around him with a final [Fm] cry was gone.
[Db] You can't [Ab] hold a man when he's [Eb] overplayed [Fm] his [Db] head, it ain't [Ab] no use, none of [Eb] his luck will change.
[Bbm] Old Daniel took the gamble [Fm] and he knew what it would cost, [Ab] if things [Eb] went bad he knew he'd lose [Bb] the [Fm] range.
For almost all his life he'd worked the farmland, [Bb] he'd been a drifter never staying for [Fm] too long.
He loved a woman back in Brisbane, but he left her with a child, [Bb] and she woke one August dawn to [Fm] find him gone.
[Db] You can't [Ab] hold a man who's [Eb] afraid to make a [Fm] stand, [Db] you ask him [Ab] why he runs he can't [Eb] explain.
[Bbm] So he left without a word, [Fm] headed south in search of work, [Ab] and until the [Eb] day she died he [Bb] stayed away.
[Fm]
Left the daughter almost grown, his story filled the home, [Bb] so he took her to the mountains [Fm] to the west.
He knew the land was hard, but at least he'd made a start, [Bb] and he'd worked from dawn till dusk [Fm] afraid to rest.
[Db] Then one night [Ab] returning home he [Eb] saw a stallion [Fm] go in late, [Db] so he nursed the [Ab] beast come till the leg was [Eb] good.
[Db] And the stallion from that [Fm] day never left the place, [Ab] but old Daniel [Eb] knew they'd come [Bb] today.
[Fm]
Season [Ab] after season ran him [D] down, [Fm] but then [E] it breaked the reign that [Ab] never [D] came.
[Db] And he'd cursed the land he loved, [Ab] and he [Bb] knew he'd lost, and he [Bbm] knew the stallion saw the [Fm] way he'd change.

On the night the old man died his daughter left the stallion crying, [Bb] the scene descended, something had [Fm] gone wrong.

[Db] He can't [Ab] hold the man when he's [Eb] lost the will to [Fm] stand, [Db] it ain't [Ab] no use to tell him his luck will [Eb] change.
[Bbm] Old Daniel took the gamble and he [Fm] knew that he'd lost, [Ab] the stallion [Ebm] heard the wind [Bb] out on the range.
