I wrote this song [A] a long time ago now.
As far as I know it's a [D] true story.
For nearly sixty years I've been [G] the cocky
[D] Of drownsome fires and floods I've lived [A] through plenty
[D] This country's dust and mud
[G] I've seen my tears [D] and blood
But it's nearly [A] over now and [G] now I'm easy
[D]
I married a fine girl when I [G] was twenty
But [D] she died in giving birth when she [A] was thirty
No [D]
fine doctor then, [G] just a gentle old black [D]
gin
But it's nearly [A] over now and [E] now [G] I'm easy
She [D]
left me with two sons and [G] a daughter
On a [D] bone-dry farm with soiled [A] crylalfal water
So [D] my care was rough and ready but [G] they grew up fine and [D]
steady
But it's nearly over [A]
now and now [G]
I'm easy
[D] My daughter married young and went her [G]
own way
[D] My sons lie buried by the Burma [A]
railway
[A]
So on this [D]
land I've made my own [G] I've carried on [D]
alone
But it's nearly over [A] now and now [G] I'm easy
City
[D]
folks these days [G] despise the cocky
[D] Sales, subsidies and all we've had [A] it easy
But there's no [D]
drought or starving stock on [G] the suburban [D]
lawn
But it's nearly [A] over now and [E] now [G] I'm easy
[D]
For nearly sixty years I've been [G] a cocky
[D] Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived through [A]
plenty
[D] This country's dust and mud [G] has seen my tears [D]
flood
But it's nearly [A] over now and [E] now [G] I'm easy
And [E]
now [D] I'm easy
