^GThe creek is dry, so the cow ^GWe're all broke, so the plow ^GThe horse is lame, the chooks won't lay

[Chorus]

^GJust another day on our Se^Clection ^D ^DOn our Se^Glection

[Verae 2]

^GThe year we came, we had a drought ^GAnd floods they put the bushfires out ^GThe wind blew half the place away

[Chorus]

^GJust another day on our Se^Clection ^D ^DOn our Se^Glection

[Bridge]

^D7When the blowfly's roar and the yellow dogs howl ^D7If it ain't Armageddon then it's heading in the same di^Grection ^D7Got to hoe till you'll drop, with a hole in your shoe ^D7On a mouthful of cockatoo stew On our Se^Glection

[Verse 3]

^GWe planted barley, barley died ^GWe planted oat, it never tried ^GWe're planting corn, now let us pray

[Chorus]

^GJust another day on our Se^Clection ^D ^DOn our Se^Glection

[Bridge]

^D7No butter, no bread, no blankets on the bed ^D7And poor Dad, bloody mad, still dreaming of a resur^Grection ^D7Well you gotta silly or you gotta be a saint ^D7Because it ain't a lot of fun here living on our sel^Gection

[Verse 3]

^GThe sky is blue, the meat is green ^GThe axe is blunt, but Dad's still keen ^GHe says we're lucky (hip hooray)

[Chorus]

^GJust another day on our Se^Clection ^D ^DOn our Se^Glection ^D

[Outro]

^DOn our Se^Glection ^D ^DOn our Se^Glection
