VERSE 1:
[D]its a plume of dust down an [A]old dirt road
and h[G]anging off the rails at the rodeo
[D]a back verandah with [A]creaking boards
and the [G]dark range of a thunderstorm
its the [D]stockmans bar at an [A]old bush pub
and [Bm]chasing mickey's [G]though the scrub
[D]its planting seeds and [A]praying for rain
and the [G]red dust running [A]through your veins

CHORUS:
its the way it [G]is, its the way it [D]goes
when my [G]wheels hit the gravel [A]road it feels like [D]home
its the way of [G]life, its the life i l[Bm]ive[G]
and im [D]right where i want to [A]be
thats the way it [D]is

VERSE 2:
its a [D]corrugated iron [A]shed
and[G] work boots on a backdoor step
[D]scones in the oven and [A]preserves in jars
[G]talking prces at the saleyards
its [D]long straight roads and [A]one horse towns
and [Bm]sheep dogs bringing [G]the mob around
its [D]she'll be right and [A]having a go
it[G]s good on ya mate and[A] what do ya know?

CHORUS:
its the way it [G]is, its the way it [D]goes

its the way of [G]life, its the life i l[Bm]ive[G]
and im [D]right where i want to [A]be
thats the way it [D]is

BRIDGE:
its th[D]e eerie still in th[A]e grey of dawn
[G/B]feilds of wheat and [G]rows of corn
[D]a rusty tank and[A] flaking paint
[G/B]a weary digger on [G]ANZAC day
[D]its the dreamtime land a[A]nd uluru
[Bm]aborigine d[G]idgeridoo
[D]its batterd hats and[A] calloused hands
th[G]e spirit of a[A] hard won land

OUTRO:
it's just the way it [G]is, it's the way it [D]goes
when my [G]wheels hit the gravel [A]road it feels like [D]home
it's the way of [G]life, it's the life I [Bm]live[G]
and I'm [D]right where I want to [A]be
a patch of [Em]ground and [Em/F#]you and [A]me
that's the way it [D]is
oh[G]hhh, it's just the way it [D]is[G]
that's the way it [D]is[G]
yeah, that's the way it [D]is[G][D]
