1st Verse:
A've ay worked on farms an' fae the start
G Dsus2 Dsus2/B Asus4(repeat
progressions)
The muckle horses won ma heart
Wi' big broad backs they proudly stand
The uncrowned kings o' aw the land
An' yet for aw their power and strength
They're as gentle as a summer's wind
Chorus:
So steady boys walk on
Oor work is nearly done
No more we'll till or plough the fields,
The horses' day is gone
An' this will be oor last trip home,
So steady boys walk on.
Riff: Dsus2 (pluck strings: D, G, B, G, but pull off on the 2nd G)
