Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
Every[D]body called [G]him
Dingo
He didn't seem to mind [D]the name
Aboriginal,
Asi[A]an blood
Ran 50 -50 in his vein[D]s
With skin like saddle [G]leather,
an inscrutable kind [D]of smile
Beneath the brim of his
[A]Akubra, he had the dreaming in his eye[D]s
She had a bloodline back [G]to
Europe
The boss's daughter
Mary
[D]Ann
Home for
Christmas at the station
[A]From a boarding school in
[D]Cairns
With such a perfect face [G]and figure
The boys at
Blush when she [D]walked by
Behind her back they called
[A]her princess
Cause she had the distance in her eye[D]s
Oh, the ringer and the [G]princess
[A]The dingo and the dee[D]r[A]
[Bm]I'll tell you that story[G] if[A]
you want [D]to hear
December rain fell with a [G]ven
geance from a cyclone in the
[D]Gulf
Bone -dried gullies turned to river[A]s
And plains became a sea of [D]mud
So the boss brought everyone togeth[G]er
The family and the station [D]hands
To open gates and knock down [A]fences
Give the stock a fighting [D]chance
Well the princess she was [G]out there
Riding right alongside the [D]men
Leading horses up to [A]safety
Trying to bring the stragglers [D]in
Till she heard a wild com[G]motion
A little further down the [D]way
A mare was trying to cross a [A]gully
And its foal was being washed [D]away
Now the young have always
been impuls[G]ive
The princess had no second [D]thoughts
She rode her mountain to that [A]gully
Trying to save the drowned [D]horse
But in the midst of the raging wa[G]ters
Her pony lost its step and [D]fell
With her foot caught in the [A]stirrup
The princess disappeared as [D]well
Dingo saw the whole thing [G]happen
Like a man -possessed [D]he rode
Straight into that swollen [A]gully
About a hundred yards [D]below
By the time the others got [G]there
All hope of finding her was [D]gone
Till dingo staggered from the wa[A]ter
With the princess in its [D]arms
Oh, the ringer and the [G]princess
[A]The dingo and the dee[D]r[A]
[Bm]I'll tell you this story
[G]If [A]you want to [D]hear
Now the princess owns the [G]station
Her dad, the boss, has long [D]since died
And although she never mar[A]ried,
Dingo's always by her [D]side.
And still the gossips talk [G]about them,
Even after all [D]these years,
About the ringer and the prin[A]cess,
the dingo and the deer[D].
About the ringer and [A]the princess,
the dingo and the deer[D].
