Thargomindah (The Way It Is) chords by John Williamson
Verse 1
G
Don't think about the hours,
C
G
going round and round
C
About the cost of fuel,
G
A
the seed you've planted
D
in the ground
C
G
It'll send you crazy,
C
belt your head against the wall
G
C
D
C
And question why you're in the game at all
G
Yeah, you wait two years for decent rain
C
G
To save a thirsty crop
C
G
And now it's going yellow
A
D
Because the bloody rain won't stop
C
G
But that's the way it is
C
Where inland rivers flow
G
C
D
An irony that real bush people know
C
G
C
But the folks in Thargominda
G
D
Haven't seen the grass so tall
G
C
G
It's an ill wind that blows no good
A
The rain can't please us all
D
C
No complaints in Thargominda
G
C
For out when I ring way
G
C
D
Smiles all round in Gidgeeland
C
G
C
D
C
G
today
And you're thinking, here we go again
C
G
With a bucket and a mop
C
It's been fifteen years
G
A
Since the flood went through your shop
D
C
And it's an act of God,
G
C
so insurance doesn't pay
G
C
D
C
You turn around and start again today
G
C
G
While a mob of hungry Brahmins
D
spread the lettuce through
G
C
If they could speak
G
I'm sure they'd say all's
A
D
well on the old Baku
C
When they reach Windora,
G
C
fat enough to sell
G
C
D
The cattleman will treat his droves
C
G
C
G
C
G
C
well
D
C
G
Yeah, you wait two years for decent rain
C
G
To save a thirsty crop
C
And now it's goin' yellow
G
A
Cos the bloody rain won't stop
D
C
But that's the way it is
G
C
where inland rivers flow
G
C
D
C
An irony that real bush people know
G
C
But the folks in Thargominda
G
D
haven't seen the grass so tall
G
C
G
It's an ill wind that blows no good,
A
D
the rain can't please us all
C
No complaints in Thargominda

or Alpenahring way
