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 Ends with the burning by the 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
