And Now I'm Easy( Eric Bogle) chords
Start Jamming...
[N] I'm from an adopted country [G] of Australia and a couple of years after I went [E] there, [G] I went into a swimming [Gm] pub
just taking some [D] comparative taste tests [G]
between the swimming and Scottish beer.
[Gb] And guess what?
Sheriff Muir was [D] talking.
[Gm] [D] And I met this old cocky in this pub, [A] a very sweet person, [G] who exchanged life stories.
[A] And I [G] wrote a song about his life story.
And [Gb] [D] it was a song about a [G] teenager who had a love story.
[Ab] A song about a love story.
[G]
I wrote a song called The Hague and the Dumb.
It [Ab] was banned from public radio in certain [Eb] Whatever, whatever.
It's a [B]
[F] lovely thing to make.
[D]
For nearly sixty years I've [G] been a cocky.
[D] Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived and [A] planted.
[D] This country's dust and mud have [G] seen my tears [D] of blood.
But it's nearly over [A] now and now [G]
I'm decent.
I
[D]
married a fine girl when [G] I was twenty.
[D] But she died in giving birth when she was [A] thirty.
[D] No fine doctor then, just [G] a gentle old [D] ladgy.
But it's nearly [A] over now and [G] now I'm decent.
[D]
She left me with two sons and [G] a daughter.
[D] On a bone-dry farm whose soil dried out [A] for water.
So my [D] care was rough and ready.
[G] But they grew up fine and [D] steady.
But it's nearly [A] over now and now [G] I'm decent.
[A]
[D]
My daughter married young and [G] went her own way.
[D] My sons were buried by the Burma [A] railway.
So on this [D] land I've laid the old.
[G] I've carried on [D] along.
But it's nearly [A] over now and now [G] I'm decent.
City [D]
folks these days [G] despise the cocky.
Same with [D] subsidies and all we've had it [A] easy.
But there's no [D] drought or a starving stock.
[G] On the sewer and suburban [D] walk.
But it's nearly [A] over now and now [G] I'm decent.
[D]
[A]
[D] For nearly sixty years I've been a [G] cocky.
[D] Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived through [A] plenty.
This [D] country's dust and mud.
I've [G] seen my tears [D] of blood.
But it's nearly [A] over now and now [G] I'm decent.
And now I'm decent.
