[Verse]
C G Am
The faces in the photograph have faded
Am C F
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
Am Em
For it's been ten years today
Dm Am
Since I left for Old Cork Station
Dm F G Am
Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done.
[Chorus]
F C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am C F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Am Em
For the years have surely gone
F Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Dm F G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Verse]
C G Am
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
Am C F
Sets me up and takes it all away
Am Em
For the dreaming by the light
Dm Am
Of the camp fire at night
Dm F G Am
Ends with the burning by the day
[Chorus]
F C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am C F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Am Em
For the years have surely gone
F Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Dm F G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done.
Lead Break: C G Am C G Am
[Verse]
C G Am
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
Am C F
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
Am Em
For the cattle trail goes on and on
Dm Am
And the fences roll forever
Dm F G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done.
[Chorus]
F C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am C F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Am Em
For the years have surely gone
F Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Dm F G Am
I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Chorus]
F C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am C F G
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Am Em
For the years have surely gone
F Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Dm F G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done.
