[Intro]
(Play Chords and whistle intro melody)
C G C F C G C
[Verse]
C
On Christmas evening
F
Of eighteen ninety
C G
Trooper Thomas he set out on the road
C
With dispatches
F
And two ponies
G C
One to ride and one to bear the load
F C
He was ridin' from Matipi a great mare between his knees
G
But he did not see the lioness that was crouched beneath the trees
[Chorus]
G C F
So here's to you Trooper Thomas
C G
As we drink our whisky and our beer
C F
Here's to you Trooper Thomas
G C
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
[Verse]
C F
The lioness then pounced on the pony
C G
That was carrying the precious Royal Mail
C F
But her claws sank into the mail bag
G C
And she dragged it to the muddy trail
F C
Now the stallion up and bolted runnin' wildly back to camp
G
So the lioness turned on Thomas and she tore the grey mare's flank
[Chorus]
G C F
So here's to you Trooper Thomas
C G
As we drink our whisky and our beer
C F
Here's to you Trooper Thomas
G C
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
[Verse]
C
Poor Trooper Thomas
F
He lost his stirrup
C G
And he fell from his mount so heavily
C F
While the grey mare she made her getaway
G C
Trooper Thomas had to shin the nearest tree
F C
From the branches he could see the lioness would not go away
G
And she tore the Royal Mail up just to pass that Christmas Day
[Outro]
G F
So here's to you Trooper Thomas
C G
As we drink our whisky and our beer
C F
Here's to you Trooper Thomas
G C
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
C F
Here's to you Trooper Thomas
C G
As we drink our whisky and our beer (Yeah hoo!)
C F
Here's to you Trooper Thomas
G C
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (Yeah hoo)
