[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
          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
