1st Verse: 
G                 Dsus2      G      Dsus2/F# 
A've ay worked on farms an' fae the start 
     G     Dsus2  Dsus2/B   Asus4(repeat 
progressions) 
The muckle horses won ma heart 
Wi' big broad backs they proudly stand 
The uncrowned kings o' aw the land 
Dsus2/B     Dsus2/F#    G       Dsus2/B 
An' yet for aw their power and strength 
G              Dsus2/B   G        Asus4 
They're as gentle as a summer's wind 
 
Chorus: 
Dsus2/F#  Asus4     Dsus2 
So steady boys walk on 
Dsus2/F#      G     Asus4 
Oor work is nearly done 
G       Dsus2/B      Dsus2/F#     G 
No more we'll till or plough the fields, 
Dsus2/F#     G        Asus4 
The horses' day is gone 
G        Dsus2/B     Dsus2/F#      G 
An' this will be oor last trip home, 
Dsus2/F#    Asus4    Dsus2 
So steady boys walk on.
