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