Cootamundra Wattle

	  		Fm7/Bb 
               Eb                               Fm7/Eb 
      Don't go lookin' through that old camphor box woman, 
 
    Eb                                  Fm7/Eb 
You know those old things only make you cry. 
 
         Eb                           Fm7/Eb 
When you dream upon that little bunny rug 
 
   Eb                                       Fm7/Eb 
It makes you think that life has passed you by 
 
          Eb                                 Fm7/Eb 
There are days when you wish the world would stop woman, 
 
    Eb                                    Fm7/Eb 
But then you know some wounds would never heal 
 
           Eb                            Fm7/Eb 
But when I browse the early pages of the children 
 
                                 Eb 
It's then I know exactly how you feel. 
 
          Fm7/Eb                    Eb 
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining 
 
        Fm7/Eb                   Eb 
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend 
 
    Fm7/Eb                          Eb 
For all at once my childhood never left me 
 
       Bb7                           Eb    
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again.  
 
It's Sunday and you should stop the worry woman, 
Come out here and sit down in the sun 
Can't you hear the magpies in the distance? 
Don't you feel the new day has begun? 
Can't you hear the bees making honey woman, 
In the spotted gums where the bellbirds ring? 
You might grow old and bitter cause you missed it, 
You know some people never hear such things  
 
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining 
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend 
For all at once my childhood never left me 
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again  
 
Don't buy the daily papers any more woman, 
Read all about what's going on in hell. 
They don't care to tell the world of kindness, 
Good news never made a paper sell. 
There's all the colours of the rainbow in the garden woman, 
And symphonies of music in the sky. 
Heaven's all around us if you're looking, 
But how can you see it if you cry.  
 
Hey it's July and the winter sun is shining 
And the Cootamundra wattle is my friend 
For all at once my childhood never left me 
'Cause wattle blossoms bring it back again.
