[Chords]
Amaj7/E xx2120
[Verse 1]
D D7 G Gsus4 G
For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky
D D7 A7 Amaj7/E
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
D D7 G D
Yes, this country's dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood
D A7 G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[Verse 2]
D D7 G Gsus4 G
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
D D7 A7 Amaj7/E
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
D D7 G D
No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black gin
D A7 G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[Verse 3]
D D7 G Gsus4 G
She left me with two sons and a daughter
D D7 A7 Amaj7/E
And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water
D D7 G D
So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
D A7 G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[Verse 4]
D D7 G Gsus4 G
My daughter married young, and went her own way
D D7 A7 Amaj7/E
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
D D7 G D
So on this land I've made my own, I've carried on a-lone
D A7 G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[Verse 5]
D D7 G Gsus4 G
City folks, these days, despise the cocky
D D7 A7 Amaj7/E
Say with subsidies and all, we've had it easy
D D7 G D
But there's no drought or starving stock, on your sewered suburban block
D A7 G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[Outro]
D D7 G Gsus4 G
For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky
