[Chords]
   Amaj7/Exx2120
[Verse 1]
For Dnearly sixty D7years, I've been a GcockyGsus4  G  
Of Ddroughts and fires and D7floods, I've lived through A7plentyAmaj7/E  
Yes, this Dcountry's dust and D7mud, has Gseen my tears and Dblood
But it's Dnearly over A7now, and now I'm GeasyD  
[Verse 2]
I Dmarried a fine D7girl when I was GtwentyGsus4  G  
But Dshe died in giving birD7th when she was A7thirtyAmaj7/E  
No DFlying Doctor D7then, just a Ggentle old black Dgin
But it's Dnearly over A7now, and now I'm GeasyD  
[Verse 3]
She Dleft me with D7two sons and a daugGhterGsus4  G  
And a Dbone-dry farm whose D7soil cried out for A7waterAmaj7/E  
So my Dcare was rough and D7ready, but they Ggrew up fine and Dsteady
But it's Dnearly over A7now, and now I'm GeasyD  
[Verse 4]
My dDaughter marriD7ed young, and went Gher own Gsus4wayG  
My Dsons lie buried D7by the Burma RA7ailwayAmaj7/E  
So on this Dland I've made my D7own, I've Gcarried on a-Dlone
But it's Dnearly over A7now, and now I'm GeasyD  
[Verse 5]
City Dfolks, these D7days, despise the GcockyGsus4  G  
Say Dwith subsidies and allD7, we've had it A7easyAmaj7/E  
But there'Ds no drought or D7starving stock, on your Gsewered suburban Dblock
But it's Dnearly over A7now, and now I'm GeasyD  
[Outro]
For Dnearly sixty D7years, I've been a GcockyGsus4  G  
Of Ddroughts and fires and D7floods, I've lived through A7plentyAmaj7/E  
Yes, this Dcountry's dust and D7mud, has Gseen my tears and Dblood
But it's Dnearly over A7now, and now I'm GeasyD

[Verse 1]

D D7 G Gsus4 G

For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky

D D7 A7 Amaj7/E

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

D A7 G D

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

[Verse 2]

D D7 G Gsus4 G

I married a fine girl when I was twenty

D D7 A7 Amaj7/E

But she died in giving birth when she was thirty

D D7 G D

No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black gin

D A7 G D

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

[Verse 3]

D D7 G Gsus4 G

She left me with two sons and a daughter

D D7 A7 Amaj7/E

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

D A7 G D

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

[Verse 4]

D D7 G Gsus4 G

My daughter married young, and went her own way

D D7 A7 Amaj7/E

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

D A7 G D

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

[Verse 5]

D D7 G Gsus4 G

City folks, these days, despise the cocky

D D7 A7 Amaj7/E

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

D D7 G D

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

D A7 G D

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

[Outro]

D D7 G Gsus4 G

For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky

D D7 A7 Amaj7/E

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

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