Chords for Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band feat. Colin Hay - Down Under (2008)

All right, this next gentleman I'm about to introduce is someone I've just had the pleasure of meeting on this tour.
It's been truly inspiring and just a whole lot of fun to work with.
He is a great singer, songwriter,
guitarist, and he's written a whole host of rock classics that have their own distinctive personality.
All this time I thought this was because he comes from the land down under,
[G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ which is the way I introduced him the first night of the tour, only to find out, much to my dismay, that he's actually
born in Scotland.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [N] _ he does come to us by way of the land down under and that great band, Men at Work.
Ladies and gentlemen,
how about it for Colin _ Hayes! _
Thank you very much, Los Angeles. _ _ _ _
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
_ It's true, some people think I was born in Scotland and some people think I was born in Australia, but most people don't care.
[G] And why should they?
Because they're too busy thinking about themselves.
Which is what we do.
We think about other people for a little while, eventually we get back to ourselves.
But now I live in the fair city of Los [N] Angeles,
_ _ where _ strange things happen that don't happen anywhere else.
You get off the plane, you drive north on Last Yendiga Boulevard,
you might, for example, see Batman walking along the road.
[G#m] And you don't think to yourself,
_ oh, that's really weird.
You just think, oh,
there goes Batman. _ _ _

_ [A] [Bm] You just [A] smiled and gave me a [B] Benjamin [G] sandwich.
[D] _ I [A] come from a land out [Bm] of love,

[B] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [B] you're [A] gonna get in [B] my [G] bed.
[A] _ [B] With a [A] flat jaw, [B] not a lot to [G] say.
[A] _ [B] I [A] said to the man, are you [B] trying to tempt [G] me?
[A] _ [Bm] _ Because I come from the land of plenty.
[G] _ [A] [D] You come [A] from a land out [B] of love,
[G] _ [A] [D] where [A] feelers grow and [B] men shun her.
[G] _ [A] _ [D] Can't you [A] hear, can't you hear the [B] thunder?
_ [G] _ [A] [D] You better run, [A] you better [B] take cover.

where women [B] plunder.
_ [G] _ [A] _ [D] Can't you [A] hear, can't you hear the [B] thunder?
_ [G] _ [A] _ [D] You better run, [A] you better take [B] cover.
_ [G] [A] We are [D] living [A] in a land out [B] of love,
