NOW I'M EASY Time: 2/2 (syncopated) Tenor: D Bass: C - Eric Bogle, 1985?, Record: Now I'm Easy - Record: Wild Colonial Boys, Best Album (as: The Cockie Farmer) - Source: Eric Bogle Songbook, page 15 (D)

D D7 G * For nearly sixty years, I've been a cocky D * A7 * Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty Yes, this country's dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood * A7 G D But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

D D7 G * I married a fine girl when I was twenty D * A7 * But she died in giving birth when she was thirty No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black gin * A7 G D But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

D D7 G * She left me with two sons and a daughter D * A7 * And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady * A7 G D But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

D D7 G * My daughter married young, and went her own way D * A7 * My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway So on this land I've made my own, I've carried on a-lone * A7 G D But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy___

City folks, these days, despise the cocky Say with subsidies and all, we've had it easy But there's no drought or starving stock, on your sewered suburban block But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
