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