_ _ _ Galleries of pink [Eb] glass, crystal nights [Bb] with diamond stars, [Eb] _ _ apricots [Bb] preserved in jars,
_ _ that's my home. _
_ _ Land of oceans in the sun, [Eb] _ purple [Bb] hazes river gone, _ [Eb] breaks your heart [Bb] when rain won't come,
_ it breaks your heart. _
_ _ _ _ _ It takes a [Eb] harsh and cruel drought _ [Bb] to sort the weaker [Eb] saplings out, it makes room for
stronger trees, _ maybe that's what life's [Bb] about.
_ Winter's come, the [Eb] hills are brown, [Bb] _ shops are closed, [Eb] the blinds are down, _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] everybody's
leaving town, _ _ they [Bb] can't go on. _ _ _ _ _

_ The south wind through veranda gores, _ [Eb] whines and bangs [Bb] the homestead doors, [Cm] a mother [Bb] curses
dusty floors [Eb] and feels [Bb] alone. _
_ _ Shrugs and bulk bins filled with rust, [Eb] boy leaves home [Bb] to make a crust, [Eb] a father's dreams
[Bb] reduced to dust, _ [Eb] but he must go [Bb] on. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Tortured red [Eb] gums unashamed, [Bb] _ sunburned country [Eb] wisely named, _ shizzle ploughed and wire claimed,
but never, never, [Bb] never tamed. _ _ _

_ _ World wind swirls a paper high, [Eb] same old news [Bb] of further dry, [Eb] of broken clouds [Bb] just passing
by, [Cm] _ _ [Bb] that's my home. _
_ _ Land of oceans in the [Eb] sun, purple [Bb] hazes river gone, [Cm] _ breaks your heart [Bb] when rain won't come,
_ it breaks your heart. _
