    Tucker's Daughter

  • Artist:

    Ian Moss

Hang me for a sucker 
Bm 
On the plains out of Narrabri 

Swingin' a hoe in a CAL-cotton row 

Sweatin' on the dangers to me  

Bossman's Mr. Tucker 

He's a man I don't care to defy 

And his only child wicked and wild is seeking my company 
    Bm             A6                 Em              A 
She wanna build me up     tear me down 
          D        D/C#   Bm      D/A 
Slap my knee bones to the ground 
G       D/F#       G      A         
Me and mine are gonna be around 
D      D/C#           Bm   D/A 
When Tuckers' daughter's a memory 
Em            D/F#         G     A        Asus 
 

Hot sun is a killer 
Bm 
She'll be waitin' at the end of my line 

Taking the shade with a cool lemonade sayin' 

Boy I wanna talka to you 

Bossmans' only daughter  

She ain't his and she'll never be mine 

Never be down on a dollar or two 
Bm                 A6    
Or told what she's gonna do 
   Em                    F#m   A 
 

She wanna build me up tear me down 

Slap my knee bones to the ground 

Me and mine are gonna be around  

When Tuckers' daughters a memory 

Build me up tear me down 

I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sounds 

And Tuckers' daughter's a memory 
 
People born with all they need 
F#m7 
They don't understand 
Bm              A      D  
Everything you want don't come from holding out your hand 
G7M                     D/F#      Em               F#sus    F#   F#m  
Tuckers' daughter thinks she sees 
F#m7 
A slave at her command 
Bm                A     D            
I know you need some time yet baby 
G7M                         D/F# 
But when the time is right 
             Em 
Babe I just ain't your man 
A                      Bm
