[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.
