            When The Rain Tumbles Down In July
Slim Dusty

       C      G            C
Let me wander north to the homestead
    F                       C
way out further on there to roam
     F                      C    
by a gully in flood let me linger
         C                    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        
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        
their best crops are always in floodreach
       C                         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      
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       
from the flats where the fences have vanished
        C                     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     
and the old station dogs are a-dozing
                                     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      
and that's just a story of homeward
          C            G      C     F    C
when the rain tumbles down in July
