[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][F#dim][D][Am][F#dim][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[D]I
[F#dim]think I hea[Am]r the sounds of them
And [Dm]people talk[D]ing,[Am]
the scenes recalled by [D]minute movement
[Am]the songs they fall from t[D]he back
and [Am]take a certain texture
that certain [D]smell
[Am]lying in sweat
[D]on familiar sheets
[Am]in brick veneer on finest beds
in a [D]rube of silent artiflex
[Am]that certain texture
that [D]certain smell
[Dm]brings home the [Am]heavy days
Brings home the [C]nighttime [D]swell
[Am]Out on the patio w[Dm]e sit
[Am]And the humidi[C]ty we br[Dm]eathe
[Am]We watch the l[C]ightning c[Dm]rack
[D]all the cane fields
[Am]Laugh and [C]think,
[Dm]this is Aust[D]ralia[Am][D][Am]
[D]Roc[Am]k is awk[D]ward, it faces west
[Am]With long diagonals and [D]sloping [Dm]tube[D]s
[Am]In the d[D]istance, through t[Dm]he he[C]at ha[Am]ze
In convoys of si[Dm]lence, the [C]cattle graze
[Dm]That certain texture, that[Am] certain beat
Brings forth the night[C]time heat
[D]Out[Am] on the pat[C]io we [Dm]sit[F]
[Am]An d the hum[C]idity we[Dm] bre[F]athe
[Am]We watch the l[C]ightning c[Am]rack[Dm]
on the [F]cane fields
[Am]Laugh and [C]think
[Dm]This is Aus[F]tralia[Am][D][Dm][C][Am][Dm][C][Am]
[Dm][C][Am][D][C][F][G]
[F][Dm][G][Am][D][Am][D]
[Am]Out on the patio w[D]e [Am]sit
and the humidity [D]we breathe
[Am]We watch the lightning c[D]rack
over [Am]cane fields
[F]Laugh and [Dm]think [G]this is Australia
[Am]Out on the p[C]atio w[Dm]e sit
[F]an [Am]d the humid[C]ity we[Dm] breathe
[F]We [Am]watch the light[C]ning crack[Dm]
over [F]cane fields,
[Am]laugh and th[C]ink
[Dm]This is Aus[F]tralia
[Am]Out on the patio we sit
[Dm]And th[Am]e humidity we breathe
[Dm]We w[F]atch[Am] the lightning
[D]crack [Dm]over [Am]cane fields,
laugh and think
This is Australia you
