Waiting For The Rain
Tono: Original
[Intro]
C F C G/B Am G
C F C G C
[Verse]
F C
Well, the weather had been sultry for a fortnight's time or more
Am G
The shearers had been battling might and main
C F C
And some had got the century as never did before
G C Bb
And now all hands are waiting for the rain
[Verse]
F C
The boss is getting rusty and the ringer's caving in
Am G
His bandaged wrist is aching with the pain
C C7 F C
And every second man, I fear, is going to make it hot for him
G C Bb
Unless we get another fall of rain
[Instrumental]
C Bb F C G/B Am G
C F C G C
[Verse]
F C
Well, the sky is clouding over and the thunder's muttering loud
Am G
The clouds are driving eastward o'er the plain
C F C
And I see the lightning flashing followed by an awful crash
G C Bb
And I hear the gentle patter of the rain
[Verse]
F C
So, lads put on your stoppers and let us to the hut
Am G
We'll gather 'round and have a friendly game
C C7 F C
And some are playing music and some play ante-up
G C Bb
And some are gazing outward at the rain
[Instrumental]
C Bb F C G/B Am G
C F C G C
[Verse]
F C
Well, now the rain is over, let the pressers spin their screws
Am G
Let the teamsters drive their wagons in again
C F C
And we'll block the classer's table by the way we push them through
G C Bb
Since now all hands are merry since the rain
[Verse]
F C
And the boss won't be so rusty when the sheep have all been shorn
Am G
And the ringer's wrist won't ache so with the pain
C C7 F C
Of pocketing a season's check for fifty pounds or more
G C Bb
And the second man will drive him hard again
[Verse]
F C
So boss, bring out the bottle and we'll wet the final flock
Am G
For the shearers here may never meet again
C C7 F C
And some may meet next season and some not even then
G C
And some they will just vanish like the rain
