Chords for Hugh McDonald - Diamantina Drover

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank [E] you.
Here's a song about a Queenslander.
[G] It's called The Diamond Tee and the Droga.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] [F] The faces in [C] the photograph [Dm] are faded
_ And I can't believe [F] he looks so much [Bb] like me
[C] For it's [Dm] been ten long [Am] years today
Since [Gm] I left for old [Dm] Cork Station
[Gm] Saying I won't [Bb] be back till the [Dm] drogan's done
For [A] [Bb] the rain [F] never falls [Gm] on the dusky [Dm] Diamond Tee-na
The Droga [Am] finds it hard to [Bb] change his mind
[C] For [F] the years have [Am] surely gone
Like [Bb] the dreddies from old [Dm] Cork Station
And I won't [Bb] be back till the [Dm] drogan's done
_ _ [C] [F] Seems like [C] the sun comes up [Dm] each morning
_ _ Sets me up and [F] then takes it all [Bb] away
_ [C] For the [Dm] dreaming by the [Am] lights
Of [Gm] the campfire [Dm] at night _
Ends with [Bb] a burning light [Dm] of day
[C] For [Bb] the rain never [F] falls on [Gm] the dusky Diamond Tee-na
[Dm] The Droga finds [Am] it hard to change [Bb] his mind
[C] For [F] the years have surely [Am] gone
Like [Bb] the dreddies from old [Dm] Cork Station
And I won't [Bb] be back till the [Dm] drogan's done
_ _ [Am] _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _
_ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ [Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ [F]
Sometimes think [C] I'll settle back [Dm] in Sydney
But it's been so [F] long and it's hard to [Bb] change your mind
[C] For [Dm] the castle [A] trail goes on and [Gm] on
So it's roll [Dm] forever
And I [Bb] won't be back when the [Dm] drogan's done
_ [C] [Bb] For the rain [F] never falls [Gm] on the dusky [Dm] Diamond Tee-na
The Droga [Am] finds it hard to [Bb] change his _ [C] mind
[F] For the years have [Am] surely gone
[Bb] Like the dreddies from [Dm] old Cork Station
And I [Bb] won't be back when the [Dm] drogan's done
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
