Cifras
When The Rain Tumbles Down In July

C              G                              C  
Let me wander north to the homestead
          F                                                            C  
Way out further on there to roam
             F                                                         C         Am  
By a gully in flood let me linger
                        C                 D7                            G  
When the summery sunshine has flown
                C                                      G                      C  
Where the logs tangle up on the creek bed
                     F                                                                         C  
And the clouds veil the old northern sky
                     F                                                                 C                    Am  
And the cattle move back from the lowlands
                        C                                 G                 C  
When the rain tumbles down in July
             C                                 G                                    C  
The settlers with sad hearts are watching
             F                                                                      C  
The rise of the stream from the dawn
                  F                                                              C                    Am  
Their best crops are always in flood reach
                  C                      D7                                      G  
If it rises much more they'll be gone
             C                                 G                                 C  
The cattle string out along the fences
                     F                                                                    C  
As the breeze from the south races by
                        F                                                                      C              Am  
And the limbs from the old gums are falling
                          C                              G                 C  
When the rain tumbles down in July
             C                              G                            C  
The old sleeping gums by the river
  F                                                            C  
Awaken to herds straying by
                          F                                                                      C                 Am  
From the flats where the fences have vanished
                     C                              D7                    G  
As the storm clouds gather on high
                C                              G                            C  
The wheels of the wagons stop turning
                        F                                                                         C  
And the stock horse is turned out to stray
                        F                                                         C            Am  
And the old station dogs are a-dozing
                     D                              D7                                      G  
On the husks in the barn through the day
             C                              G                            C  
The drover draws rein by the river
                             F                                                                      C  
It?s been years since he's seen it so high
             F                                                         C                 Am  
And that's just a story of homeward
                          C                              G                 C  F  C  
When the rain tumbles down in July
