[G] [Em] [F#] [G]
[D]
[G] [D] [G]
You have all read the beautiful stories
Of the countries far over [A] the [D] sea.
From whence came our [Am] ancestors
[D] To [Am] establish [Em] this land of [G] the free.
There are some folks who still like to travel
To see what they have [C] over there.
But when they go look, [G]
it's not like the book
And [A] they find there [D] is none to [G] [D] compare.
[G]
Oh, beautiful, beautiful Queensland
Up where the [D] wildflowers grow.
[A]
[D] We're proud [A] of our [D] beautiful climate
[A] [D] Where we never see ice [G] or snow.
You can live on the plains or the mountains
Or down where the sea [C] breezes blow.
And you're still [B] in [G]
beautiful Queensland
The [A] most wonderful [D] state that [G] I know.
[D]
[G]
You can travel on beautiful highways
By the city, the village [Am] and farm
[D]
Or sail up above [A] on the [D] skyways
And [A] the beauty [Am] below you [G] will charm.
[D]
[G] White cotton, [Dm] green forests, [G] blue rivers
Sugar cane fields and fruit trees [C] that bear.
You can look the world [B] [G] over and then you will say
[A] That Queensland [D] has beauty to [G] spare.
[D]
[B] [G]
In this song about beautiful Queensland
There's one thing I have just [D] to say.
More [A] than a million [D] [A] people
Are [Am] proud that they're [G] here to stay.
It's great to be healthy and happy
And that seems to be [C] our good fate.
So let us all [G] smile, for life is [Em] worthwhile
When we [A] live in [D] this wonderful [G] state.
