[Intro]
D   C   G   G   D
[Verse]
I'm a Dringer from the top end where ya gotta know your A7job and what you're doin' each day
On 2 million acres, you bet you'll have to earn your Dpay
If ya wanna take it on there's one thing that shouldn't be forGgottenE  
DNobody else can do the A7job like a ringer from the Dtop end
[Verse]
AOut on the fence line swallowing dust, Eblood on my hands from the barb
Hoping that rogue bull won't see the hole beA7fore they get him in the yard
But I Dget a funny feeling in the middle of my back
GSure enough, he's coming like a Etrain down the track
That's when Dnobody else moves A7faster than this ringer from the Dtop end. Look out now!
[Instrumental]
D   D   A7   A7   A7   D
D   D   G    E    D    A7   D
[Verse]
I'm a Dringer from the top end where ya gotta muster A73 thousand head in a day
Move 'em to the yards and water them at end of Dday
It's not the sort of job you'd take if you're looking for a Gsoft oneE  
But ya Dtake a kinda pride in A7saying "I'm a ringer from the Dtop end"
[Verse]
Well, I Aroll out my swag 'neath the boab tree and Ethen I'm out like a light
Dreaming about those girls in town Anext thing it's broad daylight
No Dtime to dream of what might have been
I'm in a Gdirty bull catcher with a Emustering team
I'd Dbetter keep my mind on the A7job 'cause I'm a ringer from the Dtop end. Hey!
[Tag]
D   D   G   E
And Dnobody does the job A7better than a ringer from the Dtop end. Thats right.
