[C] Out on the board the [F] old shearer stands,
[C] Grasping his shears in his [D7] thin bony [G7] hands
[C] Fixed is his gaze on a [F] barebellied joe,
[G7] Glory if he gets her, won't he [C] make the [F] ringer [C] go.

[G7] Click go the shears boys, [C] click, [F] click, [C] click,
[F] Wide is his blow and his [C] hands move [G7] quick,
The [C] ringer looks around and is [F] beaten by a blow,
And [G7] curses the old snagger with the [C] bare-[F]bellied [C] joe.
{eoc}
In the [C] middle of the floor in his [F] cane bottomed chair
Sits the [C] boss of the board with his [D7] eyes every-[G7]where,
[C] Notes well each fleece as it [F] comes to the screen,
[G7] Paying strict attention that it's [C] taken [F] off [C] clean.

And [G7] curses the old snagger with the [C] bare-[F]bellied [C] joe.
{eoc}
The [C] tar boy is there [F] waiting on demand
[C] With his blackened tar pot [D7] in his tarry [G7] hand,
[C] Sees one old sheep with a [F] cut upon its back
[G7] This is what he's waiting for its [C] "Tar [F] here [C] Jack".

[G7] Click go the shears boys, [C] click, [F] click, [C] click,
[F] Wide is his blow and his [C] hands move [G7] quick,

And [G7] curses the old snagger with the [C] bare-[F]bellied [C] joe.
{eoc}
[C] Shearing is all over, [F] we've all got our cheques,
[C] Roll up your swags boys we're [D7] off on the [G7] tracks,
The [C] first pub we'll come to, it's [F] there we'll have a spree,
With [G7] everyone shouting out [C] "Have a [F] drink with [C] me!"
{soc}
[G7] Click go the shears boys, [C] click, [F] click, [C] click,
