[Intro]
G D G G* G
[Verse 1]
C G A7
As I drive through the country, so barren and burned with sun.
D G
I see cattle and sheeps strung out. A long paddock run.
C G C
The topsoil is blowin' in red clouds into the sky,
G Em
If it took twenty years to bring water out here;
C D G
I'm sure it would all be worthwhle.
[Verse 2]
C G A7
Old Indigo Jones forecast all this when he said,
D G
"There's big droughts ahead and the Eighties will really be bad."
C G C
And I see it all 'round me as I drive each drought stricken mile.
G Em
If it took thirty years to bring water out here;
C D G
I'm sure it would all be worthwhile.
[Break 1]
C C G Em Em C D G G* G
[Verse 3]
C G A7
The hot winds are blowing, the sky's just a dark dusty grey.
D G
Five years of drought and relief still seems far away.
C G C
With stock slowling dying, its hard to face up with a smile.
G Em
If it took forty years to bring water out here;
C D G
I'm sure it would all be worthwhile.
[Verse 4]
C G A7
It seems old man drought has really taken command.
D G
He's burned up more than half of this big ol' land.
C G C
The plains are a desert, the countrysides burnt up and gnarlled.
G Em
If it took fifty years to bring water out here;
C D G
I'm sure it would all be worthwhile.
[Break 2]
C C G Em Em C D G G* G
[Verse 5]
C G A7
The hot winds are blowin' and the wirlwinds dance o'er the plain.
D G
And you'd swear this country had never tasted sweet rain.
C G C
And the patient old trees just stand there and wait for a change.
G Em
Oh, if it took fifty years to bring water out here;
C D G
It would taste like god given rain.
