Please remove my previous version and replace it with this one.
Some chords were wrong (it's Am7 instead of Em[2] and
F instead of Dm[2]).
I have also corrected the part, where he sings
"My cattle bears it all away...".

Thanks, Maceo

Am (x02210@1)             Em (022000@1)  I rose like a drover
Am (x02210@1)                     Em (022000@1)  For I am in the end a drover
Am (x02210@1)           Em (022000@1)  A drover by trade
