Three Bushmen one [B] morning rode up to an [C#m] inn, one of them [A] called out for drinks with a [E] grin,
they'd only [B] returned from a trip to the [F#m] North, and eager to [A] greet them the landlord came
forth and he [B] absently poured out [E] a glass of [A] three to star, [E] and he set down that drink
[B] with the rest on the bar.
[E] That one's for Harry, [B] he said, and it's queer, [C#m] it is the very same glass [A] that he drank from
last [E] year, his name's on the glass, you can [B] read it like print, [F#m] he scratched it himself
[A] with an old piece of flint.
I [B] remember his [E] drink, it was [A] always three star, [E] and the landlord looked out through
the [B] door of the [F#m] bar.
[A] [B] [E]
He looked at the horses [B] and counted but three, [C#m] you were always [A] together, where's Harry, cried
he, [E] oh sadly they looked at [B] that glass and they said, [A] you may put it away or our old
mate is dead, but one [B] gazing out [E] all the [A] ridges afar, [E] said we owe him a shout, [B] leave his glass
on the bar.
[E] And they thought of the far [B] away grave on the plain, [F#m] thought of the comrade, [A] came not
again, [E] and they lifted their glasses and [B] sadly they [F#m] said, we drink to the [A] name of our mate
who is dead.
[B] The sunlight [E] streamed in and [A] a light like a star [E] seemed to glow in the depths of [B] the
glass on the bar.
[F#m] [A] [E]
And still in that [B] shanty, I come below his seat, [C#m] stands by the clock [A] ever polished and clean.
[E] And often the strangers [B] will read as they pass, [F#m] name of the bushman [A] engraved on the glass.
And [B] though on the [E] shelf but a [A] dozen there are, [E] that glass never [B] stands with the rest
on the [A] bar.
And the [E] sunlight streamed in and a [A] light like a star, [E] seems to glow in the depths [B] of the
glass on the [F#m] bar.
