When The Rain Tumbles Down In July

Written and Recorded by Slim Dusty

C 
Let me wander  
G7 
north to the  
C 
homestead
 
Way  
F 
out further on there to  
C 
roam
 
By a  
F 
gully in flood let me  
C 
linger
 
When the summery sunshine has  
G7 
flown
 
Where  
C 
the logs tangle  
G7 
up on the  
C 
creek 
 
beds
 
And  
F 
clouds fill the old northern  
C 
sky
 
And the  
F 
cattle move back from the  
C 
lowlands
 
When the rain tumbles  
G7 
down in  
C 
July
 
The settlers with  
G7 
sad hearts are  
C 
watching
 
The  
F 
rise of the stream from the  
C 
dawn
 
Their  
F 
best crops are always in  
C 
flood 
 
reach
 
If it rises much more they'll be  
G7 
gone
 
The  
C 
cattle string  
G7 
out along the  
C 
fences
 
The  
F 
wind from the south races  
C 
by
 
And the  
F 
limbs from the old gums have  
C 
fallen
 
When the rain tumbles  
G7 
down in  
C 
July
 
The sleeping  
G7 
gums on the  
C 
hillside
F 
Awaken to herds strayin'  
C 
by
 
From the  
F 
flats where the fences have  
C 
vanished
 
As the storm clouds gather on  
G7 
high
 
The  
C 
wheels of the  
G7 
wagons stop  
C 
turning
 
The  
F 
stock horses turned out to  
C 
stray
 
The  
F 
old station dogs are a-
C 
dozin'
 
On the husks in the barn through the  
G7 
day
 
The  
C 
drover draws  
G7 
rein by the  
C 
river
 
Its  
F 
years since he's seen it so  
C 
high
 
Yes and  
F 
that's just a story of  
C 
homeward
 
When the rain tumbles  
G7 
down in  
C 
July
