    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

         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

        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

        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

     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

        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

        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
