Chords with lyrics
D MajorD D7D7 G+G *
For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky
D MajorD * A7A7 *
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD
Yes, this country's dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood
* A7A7 G+G D MajorD
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___
D MajorD D7D7 G+G *
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
D MajorD * A7A7 *
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD
No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black gin
* A7A7 G+G D MajorD
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___
D MajorD D7D7 G+G *
She left me with two sons and a daughter
D MajorD * A7A7 *
And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD
So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
* A7A7 G+G D MajorD
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___
D MajorD D7D7 G+G *
My daughter married young, and went her own way
D MajorD * A7A7 *
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
D MajorD D7D7 G+G D MajorD
So on this land I've made my own, I've carried on a-lone
* A7A7 G+G D MajorD
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___
