D D7 G *

For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky

D * A7 *

Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty

	D	D7	G	D
Yes, this	country's dust and	mud, has	seen my tears and	blood

* A7 G D

But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

D D7 G *

I married a fine girl when I was twenty

D * A7 *

But she died in giving birth when she was thirty

	D	D7	G	D
No	Flying Doctor	then, just a	gentle old black	gin

* A7 G D

But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

D D7 G *

She left me with two sons and a daughter

D * A7 *

And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water

	D	D7	G	D
So my	care was rough and	ready, but they	grew up fine and	steady

* A7 G D

But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

D D7 G *

My daughter married young, and went her own way

D * A7 *

My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway

	D	D7	G	D
So on this	land I've made my	own, I've	carried on a-	lone

* A7 G D

But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

City folks, these days, despise the cocky

Say with subsidies and all, we've had it easy

But there's no drought or starving stock, on your sewered suburban block

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

ENDING: REPEAT FIRST VERSE
