When The Rain Tumbles Down In July 
Written and recorded by Slim Dusty

C             G7           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 
                              G7
When the summery sunshine has flown

      C               G7        C
Where the logs tangle up on the creek beds 
    F                            C
And clouds fill the old northern sky
        F                         C
And the cattle move back from the lowlands 
                      G7      C
When the rain tumbles down in July

                  G7             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 flood reach 
                                 G7
If it rises much more they'll be gone

    C             G7            C
The cattle string out along the fences 
    F                         C
The wind from the south races by
        F                            C
And the limbs from the old gums have fallen 
                      G7      C
When the rain tumbles down in July

             G7          C
The sleeping gums on the hillside 
F                        C
Awaken to herds strayin' by
         F                           C
From the flats where the fences have vanished 
                              G7
As the storm clouds gather on high

    C             G7          C
The wheels of the wagons stop turning 
    F                          C
The stock horses turned out to stray
    F                      C
The old station dogs are a-dozin' 
                                     G7
On the husks in the barn through the day

    C            G7          C
The drover draws rein by the river 
    F                           C
Its years since he's seen it so high
        F                      C
Yes and that's just a story of homeward 
                      G7      C
When the rain tumbles down in July
