[Verse 1]
    C            G               
The faces in the photograph have 
Am
faded
      C                            
And I can't believe he looks so 
       Am
much like me
         Dm             E
For it's been ten years today
        Dm                 Am
Since I left for Old Cork Station
       Dm          C         
Sayin' I won't be back till the 
G           Am
drovin's done

[Chorus]
         C           G        
For the rain never falls on the 
   Am
dusty Diamantina
         C                         
And a drover finds it hard to 
       Am
change his mind
         Dm               E
For the years have surely gone
          Dm                 Am
Like the drays from Old Cork Station
    Dm         C         G
And I won't be back till the 
            Am
drovin's done

[Verse 2]
        C               G         
Well it seems like the sun comes 
       Am
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           
For the rain never falls on the 
Am
dusty Diamantina
        C                          
And a drover finds it hard to 
      Am
change his mind
        Dm                E
For the years have surely gone
         Dm                 
Like the drays from Old Cork 
 Am
Sta-ation
    Dm         C         G
And I won't be back till the 
            Am
drovin's done

[Verse 3]
     C                 G          
Sometimes I think I'll settle back
    Am
 in Sydney
         C                         
But it's been so long it's hard to 
       Am
change my mind
        Dm                       E
For the cattle trail goes on and on
    Dm                 Am
And the fences roll forever
    Dm         C         G
And I won't be back till the 
            Am
drovin's done

[Chorus]
        C           G           
For the rain never falls on the 
Am
dusty Diamantina

And a drover finds it hard to 
      Am
change his mind
        Dm                E
For the years have surely gone
          Dm                
Like the drays from Old Cork

And I won't be back till the

For the rain never falls on the

And a drover finds it hard to

        Dm                E
For the years have surely gone
          Dm                
Like the drays from Old Cork
