Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
G
C
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky
G
Of droughts and fires and floods
D
I've lived through plenty
G
This country's dust and mud
C
G
I've seen my tears and blood
D
G
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy
C
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
G
But she died in given birth
G
There was no flying doctor then
C
G
Just a gentle old black djinn
D
But it's nearly over now,
C
She left me with two sons and a daughter
D
whose soil cried out for water
G
So my care was rough and ready
C
G
But they grew up fine and steady
D
But it's nearly over now,
My daughter married young
G
D
My sons lie buried by the Burma railway
G
So on this land I've made me own
C
G
I've carried on alone
D
But it's nearly over now,
City folks these days
G
They say with subsidies and all,
G
But there's no drought or starving stock
C
G
On a sewered suburban block
D
But it's nearly over now,
