_ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
Spend it [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] like a runaway [B] lost at sea City [F#] on [A] a rainy day down in the harbor
Watching [F#] as the grey clouds [B] shatter the bay
Looking [A] everywhere cause I had to find you This is [F#] not the way that I [B] remembered you
_ [E] Anyone will tell [A] you it's a prisoner island Hidden [E] in the summer [B] for a million years
Great Southern [G#] _ [C#m] land, _ _ burn _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you black _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So you look [A] into the land it will tell you a story
A story [B] about a journey ten long ago Listen [A] to the motion of the wind in the mountain
Maybe [F#] you can hear them [B] talking like I do
They're gonna [F#] betray [A] you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna [F#] let them take [B] you over that way?
Great Southern [C#] _ land, _ [C#m] great Southern _ land _ You walk alone _ _ _ like a primitive _ man _
In the neighborhood, _ _ _ _ there's sticks and bones _ _ See the hungry _ eyes, _ _ it's a [C#] hungry home _ _
I _ [G#m] _ _ hear the singing _ _ of the stranger voices _ _ _ See the hungry _ eyes, _ _ they're hungry eyes
Great Southern [C#m] _ land, _ _ great Southern _ land _ _ They burn you black, _ _ black against [C#] the ground _ _ _
Standing [A] at the limit of an endless ocean Spend it [B] like a runaway lost at sea
Sitting [A] on a rainy day down in the harbor Watching [F#] as the grey clouds [B] shatter the bay
Looking [A] everywhere, I had to find you This is [E] not the way that I [B] remembered you
_ [E] Anyone will tell [A] you it's a prisoner island Hidden in the summer for [B] a million years
Great Southern [C#] _ land, _ [C#m] _
in the sweeping _ sun _ You walk _ alone with the coast of time _ _
They burn you black, _ _ black against the ground _ _ And they make good _ work _ with rocks and sand _ _
I _ [G#] _ _ hear the singing _ _ of the stranger _ _ voices _ See the hungry _ eyes, _ they're hungry eyes
Great Southern [C#m] _ land, _ _ great Southern _ land _ _ You walk alone _ like _ a primitive man _ _
You walk alone _ with _ the coast of time _ _ And they burn you _ black, _ yeah they burn you _ black _ _
Great Southern _ land, _ _ great _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Southern _ land _ Great _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Southern _ land
