Now I'm Easy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]For nearly 60 years I've been a c[C]ocky
Of [G]draughts and fires and floods
I've lived through [D]plenty
This [G]country's dust and mud
Have [C]seen my tears and [G]blood
But it's nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy[G]

[Verse 2]
I [G]married a fine girl when I [C]was 20
She [G]died in giving birth when she [D]was 30
No [G]flying doctor then,
just [C]a gentle old black [G]gen
But it's nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy[G]

[Verse 3]
She [G]left me with two sons and [C]a daughter
And a [G]bone dry farm whose soil
cried out for [D]wa ter
Though [G]me care was rough
and ready
[C]They grew up fine and [G]steady
But it's nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy[G]

[Verse 4]
Me [G]daughter married young
and went her [C]own way
My [G]sons lie buried by the Burma [D]railway
So, on this [G]land I've made me home
I [C]carried on [G]alone
But it's nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy[G]

[Verse 5]
[G]All city folks these days
despise [C]the cocky
Saying [G]with subsidies and
dole we've had it [D]easy
But there's no [G]drought or starving stock
On [C]the sewered suburban [G]block
But it's nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy[G]

[Verse 6]
For [G]nearly 60 years I've been a [C]cocky
Of [G]droughts and fires and floods
I've lived through [D]plenty
This [G]country's dust and mud
Have [C]seen my tears [G]and blood
But it's nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy[G]

[Verse 7]
But it's [G]nearly over [D]now
And now I'm [C]easy
[G]
