The Diamantina Drover
This is the live version of Diamantina Drover from Redgum's "Caught in the act".
There are a few tabs around in different keys but this is the one (Dm/F) used
in the album version. It can be transposed to Em for fewer barre chords if you
prefer. The live version is worth chasing up for the guitar solo alone.

Bb F Gm Dm
Gm F Bb C Dm (C)
F C Dm
The faces in the photograph...
F Bb
And I can't believe...
C Dm Am Gm Dm
For it's been ten long years...
Gm F Bb C Dm
Saying I won't be back...
Chorus:
C Bb F Gm Dm
For the rain never falls...
Am Bb
The drover finds it hard...
C F Am Bb Dm
For the years have surely gone...
Gm F Bb C Dm
And I won't be back...
