Family Farm Chords

(ver. 1)
Troy Cassar Daley
Family Farm.

 This is my interpretation of this great song. 
Please let  me know of any changes that need to 
be done and i will change. This is in a different
key to the cd, I think that it starts in E but 
couldn't figure out all the chords,
if anyone nows them i will put it in the original key.
HAPPY PICKING

G 	   D 	  	 C 	       D       G
I rode the boundries of our place, for the very last time
        G 	 D          C 
I was leaving for Sydney on the mail train,
    D         G  D C D
I'd made up my mind.
Em         D            C     D       G   D C D
Dad died in June I'd never seen my mother so frail,
Am                        C
Three months later we had to put,
 	  D         G
The family farm up for sale.


There was a five gallon mail box on a post by the road,
         C 	              D
Where I turn up the valley, and wind my way home.
        Em        D 	   C
I could see mum and dad arm in arm,
 	  	    D     G
In my memories of the Family Farm.

    G          D           C      D           G
No horses, no valleys, no crossings, no Hinterland streams
       G 	  D         C 	 
Just a heart full of song, a guitar, 
       D            G
And a swag full of dreams.
      Em         D             C     D       G
In my dark little room i'd scratch out my letters to mum,
     Am                    C 	     D         G  
And apart of me drifted back north, with every single one.

G            D          C      D 	  	  G   
We laid mum to rest next to dad, the year the farm was sold.
G      	          D        C        D          G
months turned to years as i followed the call of the road
      Em 	  D         C 	      D           G
I was just passing through as i saw, that real estate sign
Am 	        	     C               D        G   
That very day i put my name on what had always been mine.
