Verse 1:
  Eb MajorEb               AbAb
For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky
  Eb MajorEb                        Bb7Bb7
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
   Eb MajorEb         Eb7Eb7    AbAb        Eb MajorEb
this country's dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood
     Eb MajorEb      Bb7Bb7        AbAb    AbAb    Eb MajorEb
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse 2:
 Eb MajorEb               AbAb
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
    Eb MajorEb                 Bb7Bb7
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
  Eb MajorEb       Eb7Eb7     AbAb        Eb MajorEb
No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black friend
     Eb MajorEb     Bb7Bb7        AbAb    AbAb    Eb MajorEb
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse 3:
 Eb MajorEb               AbAb
She left me with two sons and a daughter
   Eb MajorEb                   Bb7Bb7
And a bone dry farm whose soil cried out for water
   Eb MajorEb         Eb7Eb7       AbAb        Eb MajorEb
So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
     Eb MajorEb     Bb7Bb7        AbAb    AbAb    Eb MajorEb
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy


Verse 4:
 Eb MajorEb                  AbAb
My daughter married young, and went her own way
  Eb MajorEb              Bb7Bb7
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
      Eb MajorEb        Eb7Eb7    AbAb      Eb MajorEb
So on this land I've made my own, I've carried on alone
     Eb MajorEb     Bb7Bb7        AbAb    AbAb    Eb MajorEb
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Eb MajorEb                 AbAb
City folks, these days, despise the cocky
     Eb MajorEb               Bb7Bb7
Say with subsidies and all, we've had it easy
        Eb MajorEb         Eb7Eb7     AbAb        Eb MajorEb
But there's no drought or starving stock, on a sewered suburban Block
     Eb MajorEb     Bb7Bb7        AbAb    AbAb    Eb MajorEb
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky

Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
   Eb MajorEb         Eb7Eb7    AbAb        Eb MajorEb
this country's dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood
     Eb MajorEb      Bb7Bb7        AbAb    AbAb
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
      Eb MajorEb
and now I'm easy
