John Williamson - Cootamundra Wattle Chords

[Opening]
Don’t go [D]looking through that old camphor [G]box , Woman
You [D]know those old things only make you [G]cry
When you [D]dream upon that little bunny [G]rug
[D]Makes you think that life has passed you [G]by

[verse 2]
There are [D]days when you wish the world would [G]stop, Woman
But [D]then you know some wounds would never [G]heal
When I [D]browse the early pages of the [G]children
It’s [G]then I know exactly how you [D]feel

[chorus]
Hey its [G]July and the winter sun is [D]shining
and the [G]Cootamundra wattle is my [D]friend
For [G]all at once my childhood never [D]left me,
cause [A]wattle blossoms bring it back a[D]gain

[verse 3]
It’s[D]Sunday and you should stop the[G]worry, Woman
[D]Come out here and sit down in the[G]sun
[D]Can’t you hear the magpies in the [G]distance?
[D]Don’t you feel the new day has [G]begun?

[verse 4]
[D]Can’t you hear the bees making [G]honey, Woman?
In the [D]spotted gums where the bell birds [G]ring
You might [D]grow old and bitter ‘cause you [G]missed it
You [G]know some people never hear such [D]things

[chorus]
Hey its [G]July and the winter sun is [D]shining
and the [G]Cootamundra wattle is my [D]friend
For [G]all at once my childhood never [D]left me,
cause [A]wattle blossoms bring it back a[D]gain

[interlude]
[D] [G] [D] [G]

[verse 5]
Don’t [D]buy the daily papers any[G]more, Woman
Read [D]all about what’s going on in [G]hell
[D]They don’t care to tell the world of [G]kindness
[D]Good news never made a paper [G]sell

[Closing]
There’s [D]all the colours of the rainbow in the [G]garden, Woman
And [D]symphonies of music in the [G]sky
[D]Heaven’s all around us if you’re looking [G]
But [G]how can you see it if you [D]cry?

[chorus]
Hey its [G]July and the winter sun is [D]shining
and the [G]Cootamundra wattle is my [D]friend
For [G]all at once my childhood never [D]left me,
cause [A]wattle blossoms bring it back a[D]gain
