Verse 1
D
She was leaning
on the cyclone farm gate
Bm
Talk ing to a little bird
D
You've got to be careful
what you wish for
Bm
She said as if the little bird heard
G
She made herself a man -trap,
A
and caught him by the toe
G
Tangled herself in love -grass,
A
and it won't let her go
D
I'm talking about a girl from the mallee,
Bm
who set herself up for life
D
With three boys to love her as a mother,
Bm
and a good man to love her as his wife
G
But she's got a bucket full of
A
rainbows and a twinkle in her eye
G
As she sings like a magpie morning of the cockies

A
in a purple sky
D
She's a breath of fresh air
through the homestead
Bm
Rain on the roof in a drought
D
Pictures of sea in the campfire
Bm
She's all that the bush is about
G
There was dust from the
sheep in the sunrise
A
Where the cul -de -sac trees are old
G
And a beam through the
storm hits the river
A
And covers the gums with gold
D
She was leaning on the
cyclone farm gate
