1st Verse:
                             /
A've ay worked on farms an' fae the start
            /   (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)
