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