Capo 5
[Verse]
Three Cbushman one morning rode Gup to an Inn
And Amone of them called for Emdrinks with a grin
They'd Fonly returned from a trip to the north
And Ceager to greet them the Glandlord came forth
He Fmaj7absently poured out a glass of three star
And Cset down the drink with the Grest on the bar
[Verse]
There Cthat is for Harry he said and it's Gqueer
Tis' the Amvery same glass he Emdrank from last year
His Fname's on the glass you can read it like print
He Cscratched it himself with an Gold piece of flint
I Fmaj7remember his drink it was always three star
He Cset down the drink with the Grest on the Cbar
[Verse]
He Clooked at the horses and Gcounted but three
You were Amalways together where's EmHarry cried he
Oh Fsadly they looked at the glass as they said
You may Cput it away for our Gold mate is dead
But Fmaj7one glazing out over the ridges afar
Said we Cowe him a drink leave the Gglass on the Cbar
[Instrumental] 
C G Am C F
[Verse]
They Cthought of the far away Ggrave on the plain
They Amthought of the comrade who'd Emnot come again
They Flifted their glasses and sadly they said
We Cdrink to the name of our Gold mate who's dead
And the Fmaj7sunlight streamed in and a light like a star
Seemed to Cglow in the depth of the Gglass on the bar
[Verse]
And Cstill in that shanty a Gtumbler is seen
It stAmands by the clock ever Empolished and clean
And Foften the strangers will read as they pass
The Cname of the bushman enGgraved on the glass
And Fmaj7though on that shelf though a dozen there are
That Cglass never stands with the Grest on the barC

Three bushman one morning rode up to an Inn

He absently poured out a glass of three star

C G

And set down the drink with the rest on the bar

There that is for Harry he said and it's queer

Am Em

Tis' the very same glass he drank from last year

His name's on the glass you can read it like print

He scratched it himself with an old piece of flint

Fmaj7

I remember his drink it was always three star

C G C

He set down the drink with the rest on the bar

You were always together where's Harry cried he

Seemed to glow in the depth of the glass on the bar

And still in that shanty a tumbler is seen

It stands by the clock ever polished and clean

And often the strangers will read as they pass

The name of the bushman engraved on the glass

And though on that shelf though a dozen there are

C G C

That glass never stands with the rest on the bar
