Hi, this is [A#] Ida from Icehouse.
Thank you very much for voting for the favourite video.
[F] The winner is Great Southern [F#] Land.
This is an interesting one [D] because even though it looks like it's in the middle of Central [A#] Australia,
it was actually shot in a chalk quarry in the back blocks of suburban Sydney.
[Am] One of my favourite shots from it, we really didn't get
an opportunity to do until right at the end of the day and the director wanted [Dm] to pack up,
but I insisted we do the shot with the burning sticks.
It's my favourite
I'm not good at the video.
[A] Anyway, [B] I hope you enjoy it.

Great Southern [F#] Land, [C#m]
burn you away.
So you look into the [A] land and it can tell you a story.
A story [E] about a town named in the [B] thunder of gold.
Listen [A] to the motion of the wind in the mountain.
Maybe [B] you can even talk like I do.
They're gonna [E] reach at you, [A] they're gonna forget you.
Or you're gonna [E] let them take [B] you for the night with.
Great Southern [C#m] Land, Great Southern Land.
You walk the dog like a family man.
And you make it worth all the risks and bounties.
See the hungry man, it's a [C#] hungry land.
[G#m] I hear the sound of the stranger voices.
See the hungry man, they're the hungry man.
Great Southern [C#] Land, Great Southern Land.
They burn you away like a cancer man.
[A] Standing at the limit of an endless ocean.
Standing like [E] a runaway lost [B] at sea.
Sitting on a [A] rainy day down in the harbor.
Watching [E] as the grey clouds [Bm] shadow the bay.
[B] Looking [A] everywhere, my head's behind you.
This is not [E] the way that I [Bm] remember it here.
[B] Anyone [A] will tell you it's a prison island.
[E] Living in the summer for a [B] million years.
Great Southern [C#m] Land, NC, Vegas, and.
You walk on the coast of Zion.
And they burn you there like a cancer man.
And you make it worth the risks and bounties.
[G#m] I hear the sound of the stranger voices.
See the hungry man, they're the hungry man.
[C#m] Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land.
You walk alone like a family man.
You [C#] walk alone on the coast of Zion.
And they burn you there.
[C#m] Yeah, they burn you there.
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land.
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land.
