[Cm] [Bb]
[Ab]
[Bb]
[Ab]
[Bb]
Standing [Ab] at the limit of an endless ocean, stranded [Bb] like a runaway lost at sea.
Sitting [Ab] on a rainy day down in the harbor, watching [Bb] as the grey clouds shadow the bay.
Looking [Ab]
everywhere, had to find you, this [Bb] is not the way that I remember it here.
Anyone [Ab] will tell you it's a prisoner island, hidden [Bb] in the summer for a million years.
Great [Cm] southern land, [Eb] [F] [C]
the bird [Cm] year black.
[Eb] [F] [Cm]
So you look [Ab] into the land and it will tell you a story, a story [Bb] about a journey ended long ago.
Listen [Cm] to [Ab] the motion of the wind and the mountains, maybe [Bb] you can hear them talking like I do.
They're gonna [Ab] betray you, they're gonna forget you, are you gonna [Bb] let them take you over that way?
Great southern [Cm]
land, [Eb] [F] in the sleeping [Cm]
sun.
You walk alone [Eb] with [F] the ghost [Cm] of time.
And the bird year black, [Eb] [F] black against [Cm] the ground.
And the naked word [Eb] [F] with rocks [Cm] and sand.
[G]
I hear the sound [F] [G]
of the strangers voices, [F] [G]
see the hungry eyes, their hungry eyes.
Great [Cm] southern land, [Eb] [F] great [Cm] southern land.
You walk alone [Eb] like [F] a [Cm] primitive man.
You walk alone [Eb] [F] with the ghost [Cm] of time.
[C] And the bird year [Cm]
black, [Eb] [F] yeah the bird year [C]
black.
Great [Cm] southern land, [Eb]
[F] [Cm] [F] [Cm] [C] great southern land.
[Eb] [F] [C]
Great southern land, [Eb] [F] [Cm]
[C] [Cm] [C] great southern land.
[Gm] [Eb] [F]
[C]
[Gm] [N] Thank you very much indeed.
