Diamantina Drover
Verse 1
F C Dm
The faces in the photograph have faded
F Bb
And I can't believe he looks so much like me
C Dm Am
For it's been ten years today
G Dm
Since I left for Old Cork Station
G F Bb C Dm
Sayin' I won't be back till the drovin's done
Chorus
C Bb F G Dm
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am Bb
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind
C F Am
For the years have surely gone
Bb Dm
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Gm F Bb C Dm
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Verse 2
F C Dm
Well it seems like the sun comes up each mornin'
F Bb
Sets me up and takes it all away
C Dm Am
For the dreaming by the light
G Dm
Of the camp fire at night
G F Bb C Dm
Ends with the burning by the day
Chorus
C Bb F G Dm
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am Bb
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind

For the years have surely gone

Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Gm F Bb C Dm
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Verse 3
F C Dm
Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney
F Bb
But it's been so long it's hard to change my mind

For the cattle trail goes on and on
G Dm
And the fences roll forever
G F Bb C Dm
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Chorus
C Bb F G Dm
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
Am Bb
And a drover finds it hard to change his mind

For the years have surely gone

Like the drays from Old Cork Station
Gm F Bb C Dm
And I won't be back till the drovin'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
Gm F Bb C Dm
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
