[G] [C] [F] faces in the [C] photograph [Dm] faded And I can't believe [F] he looks so much [Bb] like

[Dm] Since [Gm] I left for Hong Kong [Dm] Station [Gm] Saying [F] I won't be [Bb] back till [C] the [Dm] droving's done
[C] For the [Bb] rain never [F] falls on [Gm] the dusty [Dm] Diamantina The drover finds [Am] it hard to change [Bb] his mind
[C] For [F] the years have surely [Am] gone Like [Bb] the drains from old port [Dm] stations
[Gm] And [F] I won't [Bb] be back [C] till the [Dm] droving's done
[C] [F] It seems like the [C] sun comes up each [Dm] morning Steps me up and [F] then takes it all [Bb] away
[Cm] For the [Dm] dreaming by [Am] the light of [Gm] the campfire [Dm] at night
