[Verse 1]
G
The creek is dry, so the cow
G
We're all broke, so the plow
G
The horse is lame, the chooks won't lay

[Chorus]
G                         C        D
Just another day on our Selection
D        G
On our Selection

[Verae 2]
G
The year we came, we had a drought
G
And floods they put the bushfires out
G
The wind blew half the place away

[Chorus]
G                         C       D
Just another day on our Selection
D        G
On our Selection

[Bridge]
D7
When the blowfly's roar and the yellow dogs howl
D7                                                     G
If it ain't Armageddon then it's heading in the same direction
D7
Got to hoe till you'll drop, with a hole in your shoe
D7
On a mouthful of cockatoo stew
         G
On our Selection

[Verse 3]
G
We planted barley, barley died
G
We planted oat, it never tried
G
We're planting corn, now let us pray

[Chorus]
G                         C       D
Just another day on our Selection
D        G
On our Selection

[Bridge]
D7
No butter, no bread, no blankets on the bed
D7                                                 G
And poor Dad, bloody mad, still dreaming of a resurrection
D7
Well you gotta silly or you gotta be a saint
D7                                                  G
Because it ain't a lot of fun here living on our selection

[Verse 3]
G
The sky is blue, the meat is green
G
The axe is blunt, but Dad's still keen
G
He says we're lucky (hip hooray)

[Chorus]
G                         C       D
Just another day on our Selection
D        G       D
On our Selection

[Outro]
D        G        D
On our Selection
D        G
On our Selection
