Thargomindah (The Way It Is) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Don't think about the hours,
[C]going round and [G]round
About [C]the cost of fuel,
[G]the seed you've pla[A]nted
in the [D]ground
[C]It'll send you [G]crazy,
belt your [C]head against the wall
[G]And [C]question why you're [D]in the game at [C]all
[G]Yeah, you wait two years for decent rain
To [C]save a thirsty [G]crop
And [C]now it's going [G]yellow
Because the [A]bloody rain won't [D]stop
But [C]that's the way [G]it is
Where [C]inland rivers flow
[G]An [C]irony that [D]real bush people know
[C]But [G]the fol[C]ks in Thargominda
[G]Haven't see[D]n the grass so tall
[G]It's an [C]ill wind that blo[G]ws no good
The rain [A]can't please us all
[D]No compla[C]ints in Thargominda
[G]For out[C] when I ring way
[G]Smiles [C]all round in Gid[D]geeland
[C]today[G][C][D][C][G]
And you're thinking, here we go again
With a [C]bucket and [G]a mop
[C]It's been fifteen years
[G]Since the flo[A]od went through your shop
[D]And [C]it's an act of God,
[G]so insuranc[C]e doesn't pay
[G]You [C]turn around and [D]start again [C]today
[G]While a mob[C] of hungry Brahmins[G]
spread [D]the lettuce through
[G]If [C]they could speak
I'm sure [G]they'd say all's
[A]well on the old Bak[D]u
When [C]they reach Windora,
[G]fat eno[C]ugh to sell
[G]The [C]cattleman will treat [D]his droves
[C]well[G][C][G][C][G][C]
[D][C][G]
Yeah, you wait two years for decent rain
To [C]save a thirsty [G]crop
And [C]now it's goin' yellow
[G]Cos the [A]bloody rain won't stop
[D]But [C]that's the way it is
[G]where [C]inland rivers flow
[G]An [C]irony that [D]real bush people [C]know
[G]But the fol[C]ks in Thargominda
[G]haven't see[D]n the grass so tall
[G]It's an [C]ill wind that blo[G]ws no good,
the rain [A]can't please us [D]all
No com[C]plaints in Thargominda
[G]or Alp[C]enahring way[G]
[C]Smiles all round in [D]Giggieland [C]today[G]
Yeah, there's [C]no complaints
in [D]Giggieland today
[C][G]
