[Intro]
C G Am
C G Am
[Verse 1]
C G Am
The faces in the photograph have faded
C Am
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
Dm E
For it's been ten years today
Dm Am
Since I left for Old Cork Station
Dm C G Am
Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Chorus]
C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
C Am
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Dm E
For the years have surely gone
Dm Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Dm C G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Verse 2]
C G Am
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
C Am
Sets me up and takes it all away
Dm E
For the dreaming by the light
Dm Am
Of the camp fire at night
Dm C G Am
Blends with the burning light of day
[Chorus]
C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
C Am
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Dm E
For the years have surely gone
Dm Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
Dm C G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Instrumental]
C G Am C G Am
[Verse 3]
C G Am
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
C Am
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
Dm E
For the cattle trail goes on and on
Dm Am
And the fences roll forever
Dm C G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Chorus]
C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
C Am
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Dm E
For the years have surely gone
Dm Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
Dm C G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
[Chorus]
C G Am
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
C Am
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
Dm E
For the years have surely gone
Dm Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Sta-ation
Dm C G Am
And I won't be back till the drovin's done

The faces in the photograph have faded
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
For it's been ten years today
Since I left for Old Cork Station
Sayin' I won't be back till the drivin's done
[Chorus]
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
For the years have surely gone
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
And I won't be back till the drivin's done
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
Sets me up and takes it all away
For the dreaming by the light
Of the camp fire at night
Ends with the burning by the day
[Chorus]
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind
For the cattle trail goes on and on
And the fences roll forever
And I won't be back till the drivin's done
[Chorus: x2]
