FAMILY ALBUM NO. 2 (Gumleaf/EMI – 1996) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
The creek is dry, so the cow

G
We're all broke, so the plow

G
The horse is lame, the chooks won't lay
[Chorus]
G                         C        D
Just another day on our Selection

D        G
On our Selection
[Verae 2]
G
The year we came, we had a drought

G
And floods they put the bushfires out

G
The wind blew half the place away
[Chorus]
G                         C       D
Just another day on our Selection

D        G
On our Selection
[Bridge]
D7
When the blowfly's roar and the yellow dogs howl

D7                                                     G
If it ain't Armageddon then it's heading in the same direction

D7
Got to hoe till you'll drop, with a hole in your shoe

D7
On a mouthful of cockatoo stew

         G
On our Selection
[Verse 3]
G
We planted barley, barley died

G
We planted oat, it never tried

G
We're planting corn, now let us pray
[Chorus]
G                         C       D
Just another day on our Selection

D        G

D7
No butter, no bread, no blankets on the bed

D7                                                 G
And poor Dad, bloody mad, still dreaming of a resurrection

D7
Well you gotta silly or you gotta be a saint

D7                                                  G
Because it ain't a lot of fun here living on our selection
[Verse 3]
G
The sky is blue, the meat is green

G
The axe is blunt, but Dad's still keen

G
He says we're lucky (hip hooray)
