    G                              C
For nearly sixty years I've been a Cockie
   G                                                 D
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
         G                           C                 G
And this country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood
                     D                C      G  D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse:
  G                              C
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
        G                                 D
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
   G                          C                 G
No flying doctor then, just a gentle old black 'gin
                     D                C      G  D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse:
    G                           C
She left me with two sons and a daughter
      G                                      D
And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water
   G                                  C                G
My care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
                     D                C      G  D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse:
   G                                   C
My daughter married young and went her own way
   G                            D
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
           G                 G7         C           G
So on this land I've made my home, I've carried on alone
                     D                C      G  D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

         A                           D                 A
And this country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood
                     E                D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Oh, it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
