For Dnearly sixty D7years, I've been a Gcocky

*

Of Ddroughts and fires and

*

floods, I've lived through A7plenty

*

Yes, this Dcountry's dust and D7mud, has Gseen my tears and Dblood But it's

*

nearly over A7now, and now I'm Geasy_D__
I Dmarried a fine D7girl when I was Gtwenty

*

But she Ddied in giving

*

birth when she was A7thirty

*

No DFlying Doctor D7then, just a Ggentle old black Dgin But it's

*

nearly over A7now, and now I'm Geasy_D__
She Dleft me with two D7sons and a Gdaughter

*

And a Dbone-dry farm whose

*

soil cried out for A7water

*

So my Dcare was rough and D7ready, but they Ggrew up fine and Dsteady But it's

*

nearly over A7now, and now I'm Geasy_D__
My Ddaughter married D7young, and went her Gown way

*

My Dsons lie buried

*

by the Burma A7Railway

*

So on this Dland I've made my D7own, I've Gcarried on a-Dlone But it's

*

nearly over A7now, and now I'm Geasy_D__
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 NOTES: - "*" in chord line represents a new bar, play same chord - "." in the lyric line represents a 1/8 note rest - Gin ("Jen"): an Australian aboriginal woman - The term is now considered as derogatory as "squaw" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Barrie McCombs, MD, CCFP(EM) | Family Physician by Day | | bmccombs@acs.ucalgary.ca | Folk Musician by Night | | Voice: (403) 220-8551 | | | Fax: (403) 270-2330 | "Semper Ubi, Sub Ubi" | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
