[C#]
Let me wander [G#] north to [C#] the homestead, [F#] way out further on there [C#] to roam.
Via [F#] gully and flood let [C#] me linger, when the summery sunshine [G#] has flown.
Where [C#] the logs [G#] tangle up [C#] on the creek bed, [F#] and clouds veil the old [C#] northern sky.
And [F#] the cattle move back from [C#] the lowland, when the [G#] rain tumbles down in [C#] July.
The [G#] settlers with sad hearts [C#] are watching, [F#] the rise of the stream from [C#] the dawn.
[F#] Their best crops are always [C#] in flood reefs, if it rises much more [G#] they'll be gone.
[C#] The cattle [G#] string out [C#] along the fences, [F#] the wind from the south [C#] races by.
And [F#] the limbs from the old guns [C#] are fallen, when the rain [G#] tumbles down in [C#] July.
The sleeping [G#] guns [C#] on the hillside, [F#] awaken to herd [C#] string by.
From [F#] the flats where the fences [C#] have vanished, as the storm clouds gather [G#] on high.
[C#] The [G#] wheels of the wagon stop [C#] turning, [F#] the stock horses turned [C#] out to stray.
[F#] The old station dogs [C#] are a-dozing, on the husks in the barn [G#] through the day.
[C#] The drover [G#] draws rain [C#] by the river, [F#] it's years since he's seen it [C#] so high.
[F#] Yes and that's just a story [C#] of homeward, when the rain [G#] tumbled down in July.
