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