Diamantina Drover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]The faces
in the [G]photographs are [Am]faded
And I can't believe he
[C]looks so much like [F]me
For it's [Am]been ten long years [Em]today
Since I [Dm]left for old Cork Sta[Am]tion
Saying [Dm]I won't be ba[F]ck
'till [G]the drov[Am]in's done.

[Verse 2]
For the [F]rain never [C]falls on the
[G]Dusty [Am]Diamantina
The drover finds it [C]hard to change his [F]mind
[G]For the [Am]years have surely [Em]gone
Like the [Dm]drays from old Cork Sta[Am]tion
And [Dm]I wo[Em]n't be bac[F]k
'till [G]the drovin's[Am]done.

[Verse 3]
It [C]seems like [G]the sun comes
up each [Am]morning
Sets me up and then [C]takes it all [F]away
For [Am]the dreaming by the [Em]light
of [Dm]the campfire at [Am]night
[Dm]Blends with [Am]the burn
[F]ing light [G]of [Am]day.

[Verse 4]
[Am]For the [F]rain never f[C]alls on the
[G]Dusty [Am]Diamtina
The drover finds it [C]hard to change his [F]mind
[G]For the [Am]years have surely [Em]gone
Like the [Dm]drays from old Cork Sta[Am]tion
And [Dm]I wo[Em]n't be bac[F]k 'till th[G]e drov
[Am]in's done.

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][G][Am][G][C][G][Am]
[C][G][Dm]

[Verse 5]
[F]I s[G]ome[Am]times th[C]ink I'll
[G]settle back [Am]in Sydney
But it's been so long and
[C]it's hard to change your [F]mind
For the [Am]cattle trays go [Em]on and on
and the [Dm]fences roll [Am]forever
And [Dm]I won't be bac[F]k 'till
[G]the drov[Am]in's done.

[Verse 6]
For the [F]rain never [C]falls on
the [G]Dusty [Am]Diamtina
The drover finds it [C]hard to change his [F]mind[G]
[Am][Em][F][Am][Dm][Em][F][G][Am]
[F]
[C]For [G]the[Am] year[C]s have[F]
[G]sur[Am]ely gone[Em]
Like [F]the drays from old Cork [Am]Station
And [Dm]I wo[Em]n't be bac[F]k[G][Am][Dm][Em]
[F]'till the dro[Am]vin's done.

[Outro 1]
