Diamantina Drover Ukulele by John Williamson

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1
 C       G       Am
The faces in the photograph have faded
   Am        C        F  F G
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
     Am       Em
For it's been ten years today
     Dm         Am
Since I left for Old Cork Station
    Dm     F     G      Am
Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done

Chorus
     F      C      G     Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
 Am          C         F   F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
     Am        Em
For the years have surely gone
     Dm         Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
   Dm     F     G    Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done

Verse 2
    C        G        Am
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
Am       C      F  F G
Sets me up and takes it all away
    Am        Em
For the dreaming by the light
    Dm     Am
Of the camp fire at night
 Dm     F    G   Am
Ends with the burning by the day

Chorus
     F      C      G     Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
     Am      C         F  F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
     Am        Em
For the years have surely gone
     Dm         Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
   Dm     F    G      Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done

Instrumental
C G Am C G Am

Verse 3
   C         G       Am
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
     Am        C         F  F G
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
    Am           Em
For the cattle trail goes on and on
    Dm       Am
And the fences roll forever
    Dm   F       G    Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done

Chorus
    F      C      G      Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
     Am      C         F  F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
     Am       Em
For the years have surely gone
     Dm         Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
   Dm    F       G    Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done

Chorus
     F      C      G     Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
    Am       C         F  F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
     Am        Em
For the years have surely gone
     Dm         Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
   Dm     F      G    Am
