[Verse 1]
    Eb                             
For nearly sixty years, I've been a
 Ab
 cocky
   Eb                            
Of droughts and fires and floods, 
                    Bb7
I've lived through plenty
     Eb                 Eb7    
this country's dust and mud, has 
   Ab               Eb
seen my tears and blood
         Eb           Bb7         
But it's nearly over now, and now 
      Ab        Ab        Eb
I'm easy


[Verse 2]
  Eb                             
I married a fine girl when I was 
Ab
twenty
        Eb                       
But she died in giving birth when 
          Bb7
she was thirty
   Eb             Eb7         Ab 
No Flying Doctor then, just a 
              Eb
gentle old black friend
         Eb          Bb7          
But it's nearly over now, and now 
     Ab        Ab        Eb
I'm easy

[Verse 3]
  Eb                           
She left me with two sons and a 
  Ab
daughter
      Eb                           
And a bone dry farm whose soil 
          Bb7
cried out for water
      Eb                 Eb7      
So my care was rough and ready, 
       Ab               Eb
but they grew up fine and steady
         Eb          Bb7          
But it's nearly over now, and now 
     Ab        Ab        Eb
I'm easy


[Verse 4]
  Eb                               
My daughter married young, and went
     Ab
 her own way
   Eb                           
My sons lie buried by the Burma 
Bb7
Railway
           Eb                Eb7  
So on this land I've made my own, 
     Ab           Eb
I've carried on alone
         Eb          Bb7          
But it's nearly over now, and now 
     Ab        Ab        Eb
I'm easy

[Verse 5]
Eb                                
City folks, these days, despise 
  Ab
the cocky
         Eb                      
Say with subsidies and all, we've 
        Bb7
had it easy
               Eb                  
But there's no drought or starving 
Eb7         Ab               Eb
stock, on a sewered suburban Block
         Eb          Bb7          
But it's nearly over now, and now 
     Ab        Ab        Eb
I'm easy
