Chord/Tab song: Great Southern Land

Great southern land by Icehouse
Intro: A Em D
St[A]anding at the limit of an endless ocean
stranded like a runaway,[Em] lost at sea
city on a rainy day do[D]wn in the harbor
watching as the grey clouds shadow[A] the bay
looking everywhere 'cause [Em]I had to find you
this is not the way th[A]at i remember it here
anyone will tell you its [D]a prisoner island
hidden in the summer [A]for a million years

Great Southern Land, [Am]burned you black[F][A][Am]

[A]So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
story 'bout a journey[Em] ended long ago
if you listen to the motion [D]of the wind in the mountains
maybe you can hear them talking like I d[A]o
". . they're gonna betray, [Em]they're gonna forget you
are you gonna let the[A]m take you over this way . ."


Great Southern Land, G[Am]reat Southern Land[F][A]

you walk alone, l[Am]ike a primitive man[A]
and they make it work, wit[Am]h sticks and bones,[F]
see their hungry eyes, its[A] a hungry home,[Am]
I hear the sound,[F] of the stranger's voices,[A]
I see their hungr[Am]y eyes, their hungry eyes[F]
G[Am]reat Southern Land, Gr[F]eat Sou[Am]thern Land[F]

[Am]Great Southern Land, in[F] the sleeping sun[A]
you walk alone with[Am] the ghost of time[F]
they burned you black, blac[A]k against the ground[Am]
and they make it work with rocks[F] and sand[A]
[Am]I hear the sound o[F]f the stanger's voices[A]
I see their hungry eyes, th[F]eir hungry eyes[A]
