Tonart: Bb major
Verse 1
F#
B
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
B
F#
I've seen my tears and blood
C#
F#
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy
B
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
F#
But she died in given birth
F#
There was no flying doctor then
B
F#
Just a gentle old black djinn
C#
But it's nearly over now,
B
She left me with two sons and a daughter
F#
And a bone -dry farm
C#
whose soil cried out for water
F#
So my care was rough and ready
B
F#
But they grew up fine and steady
C#
But it's nearly over now,
My daughter married young
F#
C#
My sons lie buried by the Burma railway
F#
So on this land I've made me own
B
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
B
F#
On a sewered suburban block
C#
But it's nearly over now,
F#
and now I'm easy you
