Db
Gb
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky
Db
Of droughts and fires and floods
Ab
I've lived through plenty
Db
This country's dust and mud
Gb
Db
I've seen my tears and blood
Ab
Db
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy
Gb
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
Db
But she died in given birth

There was no flying doctor then

Just a gentle old black djinn
Ab
But it's nearly over now,
Gb
She left me with two sons and a daughter
Db
And a bone -dry farm
Ab
whose soil cried out for water
Db
So my care was rough and ready
Gb
Db
But they grew up fine and steady
Ab
But it's nearly over now,
My daughter married young
Gb
and went her own way

Ab
My sons lie buried by the Burma railway
Db
So on this land I've made me own
Gb
Db
I've carried on alone
Ab
But it's nearly over now,
City folks these days
Db
They say with subsidies and all,
Db
But there's no drought or starving stock
Gb
Db
On a sewered suburban block
Ab
But it's nearly over now,
Db
and now I'm easy you
