Verse 1
D
G
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky
D
Of droughts and fires and floods

I've lived through plenty

This country's dust and mud
G

I've seen my tears and blood
A
D
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy

I married a fine girl when I was twenty

There was no flying doctor then
G
D
Just a gentle old black djinn
A
But it's nearly over now,
G
She left me with two sons and a daughter
A
whose soil cried out for water

But it's nearly over now,
My daughter married young

My sons lie buried by the Burma railway

So on this land I've made me own
G

But it's nearly over now,
City folks these days

D
But there's no drought or starving stock
G

On a sewered suburban block
A
But it's nearly over now,
