The Diamondtina Drover

[(intro) ]Dm Em Dm G Am C F G C G F G The faces in the photographs are fading, Am C F I can't believe he looks so much like me. G Am Em Dm Am For it’s been ten long years today since I left for old Cork Station, Dm Em F G Am saying, I won't be back till the drove is done. F C Dm Am For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina, Dm Em F the drover finds it hard to change his mind. G C Em F Am For the years have surely gone like the drays from old Cork Station, Dm Em F G Am and I won't be back till the drove is done. C G F G It seems like the sun comes up each morning, Am C F G sets me up, then takes it all away. Am Em Dm Am Dreaming by the light of the campfire at night, Dm Em F G Am ends with the early light of the day. F C Dm Am For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina, Dm Em F the drover finds it hard to change his mind. G C Em F Am For the years have surely gone like the drays from old Cork Station, Dm Em F G Am and I won't be back till the drove is done. ( Dm Em Dm G Am C F G ) C G F G I sometimes think I'll settle back in Sydney, Am C F it's been so long and it's hard to change your mind. G Am Em Dm Am For the cattle trail rolls on and on, the fences last forever, Dm Em F G Am and I won't be back when the drove is done. F C Dm Am For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina, Dm Em F the drover finds it hard to change his mind. G C Em F Am For the years have surely gone like the drays from old Cork Station, Dm Em F G Am and I won't be back till the drove is done. ( Dm Em Dm G Am C F G ) (2x)
