intro
F G F C
C
shes my mother, she's my aunty,
F C
she is many that i've known
F C D7 G7
the backbone of the bush, where country kids have grown
C F C
she's raised and she's nurtured those children of her own
F G7 F C
while her man does his battles on the land
F C F C
and he comes on from the shearing, still aching in the back
F C D7 G7
the kids are finally tucked away, her days are never slack
C F C
but she makes it look so easy, as she cooks him up a storm
F G F
that unselfish, unsung hero of the land
C F G F C
C
she's keeping books, she's nursing
F C
raising money for the town
F F D7 G7
she's the last one standing, when all is falling down
C F C
ferocious as a tiger to defend her little clan
F G7 F C
my hero the woman on the land
F C F C
so i propose a toast, to the mothers that we know
F C D7 G7
proud to be the better half, who really run the show
C F C
and if you shed a tear boys, i will understand
F G F
to our hero the woman on the land
C C F C F G F C
F C F C
and he comes in from the harvest, a dissapointing yield
F C D7 G7
he's tired and he's dusty, twelve hours in the field
C F C
and although her day's been difficult, she greets him with a smile
F G F
that unselfish, unsung hero of the land
C C F C F G F C
F G F C
to our hero, the woman on the land
