[Intro]
G D G D G D A A7
[Verse 1]
D G Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box, woman D G you know those old things only make you cry D G When you dream upon that little bunny rug D G makes you think that life has passed you by D G There are days when you wish the world would stop, woman D G but then you know some wounds would never heal D G When I browse the early pages of the children G D it's then I know exactly how you feel
[Chorus]
G D Hey, it's July, and the winter sun is shining G D and the Cootamundra wattle is my friend G D For all at once my childhood never left me A A7 D cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
[Verse 2]
D G It's Sunday and you should stop the worry, woman D G come out here and sit down in the sun D G Can't you hear the magpies in the distance D G Don't you feel the new day has begun D G Can't you hear the bees making honey, woman D G in the spotted gums where the bell birds ring D G You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it G D you know some people never hear such things
[Chorus]
G D Hey, it's July, and the winter sun is shining G D and the Cootamundra wattle is my friend G D For all at once my childhood never left me A A7 D cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G Don't buy the daily papers any more, woman D G read all about what's goin' on in hell D G They don't care to tell the world of kindness D G good news never made a paper sell D G There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden, woman D G and symphonies of music in the sky D G heaven's all around us if you're lookin' G D but how can you see it if you cry
[Chorus]
G D Hey, it's July, and the winter sun is shining G D and the Cootamundra wattle is my friend G D For all at once my childhood never left me A A7 D cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
[Outro]
