Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
Galleries [D]of
[Dsus4]pink Gala[C]hs
Crystal nights with [G]diamond [Am]stars
Apricots pre[G]served in [Dsus4]jars
That's [G]my home

[Verse 2]
[G]
Land of ocean[D]s in the s[Dsus4]un[C]
Purple hazes, [G]river [Am]gum
Breaks your heart [C]when
[G]rain won't [Dsus4]come
It breaks [G]your heart

[Verse 3]
[G]
It takes a harsh and [C]cruel drought
[G]To sort the weaker saplings o[C]ut
It makes room for stronger trees
Maybe that's what [G]life's about

[Verse 4]
Winter's come, the [G]hills [C]are brown
[G]Shops are closed,
the blinds [C]are [G]down
Everybody's [C]leavin' town
They [G]can't go on

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][C][G][Am]
[Dsus4][G][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 5]
The south wind through [G]veranda gauze
[C]Whines and bangs
[G]the homestead doors
[Am]A mother curse[C]s dust[G]y floo[Dsus4]rs
And feels [G]alone

[Verse 6]
[G]
Trucks and bulk bin[D]s filled with r[Dsus4]ust
[C]Boy leaves home to mak[G]e a crust
[Am]A father's dream[C]s re
[G]duced [Dsus4]to dust
But he must [G]go on

[Verse 7]
[G]
Tortured red gums un[C]ashamed
[G]Sun burnt country wisely
[C]named
Chisel-ploughed and and wire-claimed
But But never never never [G]tamed

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][C][G][C]
[G][D][Dsus4][G][C][G][Dsus4][G]
[Dsus4][G]

[Verse 8]
Whirlwind swirls [D]a paper [Dsus4]high
[C]Same old news of fur[G]ther dry
[Am]Of broken clou[Dsus4]ds just[C]
[G]passing [Dsus4]by
That's [G]my home

[Verse 9]
[G]
Land of oceans in [C]the sun
Purple hazes, [G]river [Am]gum
Breaks your [C]heart when
[G]rain won't [Dsus4]come
It breaks [G]your heart

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][Dsus4]
