Right behind me we have an old creek that floods quite a lot, Nullanulla Creek.
But here's a song about another flood, a flood of kindness, recorded at the 91 over 50 sessions, not seen or heard before.
It's called the Flood of [D] 95.
[G] [D] We all thought we were used to drought, [G] and that's just part of being [D] Australian.
[G] But Australians will [D] remember the drought [G] of [A] 95, just [D] in the middle of the dust.
[G] When we all thought [D] we were beaten,
[G] thank God [D] for the miracle we [E] called the flood of [D] 95.
Stretching out like a lifeline [G] from the city [D] to the outback,
[G] a [D] convoy of mateship that [E] made the toughest [A] bushy ride,
[D] and the sweat that hit the ground [G] when we pitched [D] in together,
[G] kept us from [D] going under [E] in the [A] flood of [D] 95.
And didn't it rain, [G] didn't Australia [D] come alive,
[G] when it rained [D] human kindness [E] in the flood of [A] 95.
And [D] didn't we learn, [G] just [D] who our mates are,
[G] and didn't [D] Australia blossom [E] from the [A] flood of [D] 95.
[E] [A] [D]
I still see the faces, [G] faces [D] of [G] Australians,
faces [D] of some old [E] friends that I'd only [A] met that day.
[D] And in the dust we knuckled down, [G] yes, city [D] folks and bushies,
[G] Australians [D] being Australians, [E] [A] just [D] trying to help a mate.
And didn't it rain, didn't [G] Australia [D] come alive,
[G] when it [D] rained human kindness [E] in the flood of [A] 95.
And [D] didn't we learn, [G]
[D] just who our mates are,
[G] and didn't Australia [D] blossom [E] from the flood [D] of 95.
No, [E]
it didn't break the drought, but it [A] broke the [E] isolation,
[A] broke down the [E] misconception, [F#] we're all out there [B] on our own.
[E] And it helped us realise, [A] that we're all in [E] this together,
[A] and Australians [E] can do anything, [F#] if we [B] all [E] work as one.
And didn't it rain, [A] didn't Australia [E] come alive,
[A] when it [E] rained human kindness in [F#] the flood of [B] 95.
And didn't [E] we learn, [A] just who [E] our mates are,
[A] and didn't Australia [E] blossom from [F#] the flood [E] of 95.
[A] Didn't Australia [E] come alive,
[A] when it rained [E] human kindness [F#] in the flood of [B] 95.
And [E] didn't we learn, [A] just [E] who our mates [A] are,
and didn't [E] Australia blossom [F#] from the [B] flood of [E] 95.
