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

Sometimes I think I'll settle back in Sydney

For the cattle trail goes on and on
DmAm
And the fences roll forever
DmCGAm
And I won't be back till the drovin's done
Chorus
CGAm
For the rain never falls on the dusty Diamantina
