[Intro] Dsus4 E7sus4 Dmaj13 D Dsus4 E7sus4 Dsus4 E7sus4 Dmaj13 D D Dsus4 E7sus4 Dmaj13 D Dsus4 E7sus4 Emadd4 A [Verse 1]
         D                                Dsus4
Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box    Woman

    D                                   Dsus4
You know those old things only make you cry

         D                            Dsus4
When you dream upon that little bunny rug

D                                        Dsus4
Makes you think that life has passed you by

          D                                  Dsus4
There are days when you wish the world would stop   Woman

    D                                     Dsus4
But then you know some wounds would never heal

       D                             Dsus4
When I browse the early pages of the children

     Dsus4                       D
It's then I know exactly how you feel
[Chorus]
         Dsus4          E7sus4   Dmaj13    D
Hey it's July   and the Winter   sun   is  shining

        Dsus4       E7sus4  Dmaj13  D
and the Cootamundra wattle  is my   friend

    Dsus4            E7sus4       Dmaj13  D
For all at once   my child-hood   never   left me

       Emadd4                        D
'cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
[Verse 2]
     D                              Dsus4
It's Sunday and you should stop the worry  Woman

D                                 Dsus4
Come out here and sit down in the sun

D                                 Dsus4
Can't you hear the magpies in the distance?

D                                Dsus4
Don't you feel the new day has begun?

D                              Dsus4
Can't you hear the bees making honey   Woman?

       D                                 Dsus4
In the spotted gums where the bell birds ring

          D                              Dsus4
You might grow old and bitter 'cause you missed it

    Dsus4                            D
You know some people never hear such things
[Chorus]
         Dsus4          E7sus4   Dmaj13    D
Hey it's July   and the Winter   sun   is  shining

        Dsus4       E7sus4  Dmaj13  D
and the Cootamundra wattle  is my   friend

    Dsus4            E7sus4       Dmaj13  D
For all at once   my child-hood   never   left me

       Emadd4                          D      D   Dsus4    D   Dsus4
'cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
[Verse 3]
      D                        Dsus4
Don't buy the daily papers any more   Woman

     D                            Dsus4
Read all about what's goin' on in hell

D                                    Dsus4
They don't care to tell the world of kindness

D                            Dsus4
Good news never made a paper sell

                D                             Dsus4
There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden   Woman

    D                          Dsus4
And symphonies of music in the sky

D                                Dsus4
Heaven's all around us if you're lookin'

    Dsus4                     D
But how can you see it if you cry?
[Chorus]
         Dsus4          E7sus4   Dmaj13    D
Hey it's July   and the Winter   sun   is  shining

        Dsus4       E7sus4  Dmaj13  D
and the Cootamundra wattle  is my   friend

    Dsus4            E7sus4       Dmaj13  D
For all at once   my child-hood   never   left me

       Emadd4                        D
'cause wattle blossoms bring it back again
