SOUNDS OF THEN (THIS IS AUSTRALIA) - Gangajang (Album: Gangajang 1985) [INTRO]

^Bm/ / / / ^E/ / / ^D/ (x4) [Verse 1]

I think I ^Bmhear the sounds of then, ^E and people tal^Dking The ^Bmscenes recalled ^E by minute mov^Dement And ^Bmsongs they fall ^E from the backing ^Dtape That ^Bmcertain texture, ^E that certain ^Dsmell

[Verse 2]

^Bm To lie in sweat, ^E on familiar ^Dsheets ^Bm In brick veneer on ^Efinanced beds^D ^Bm In a room ^Eof silent hard^Diflex That ^Bmcertain texture, ^E that certain ^Dsmell

[Bridge]

^E That brings home the ^Bmheavy days ^Bm Brings home the ^Dnight time ^Eswell

[Chorus]

^BmOut on the ^Dpatio ^E we'd ^Gsit ^BmAnd the hum^Didity ^E we'd ^Gbreathe ^BmWe'd watch the ^Dlightning ^E crack over ^Gcane fields ^Bm Laugh and ^Dthink, ^E this is Aus^Gtralia.

[Instrumental]

^Bm/ / / / ^E/ / / ^D/ (x2) [Verse 3]

^Bm The block is awkward, ^E it fa^Dces West ^Bm Long diagonals, and s^Eloping too ^D ^Bm And in the distance, ^E through the heat ^Dhaze ^Bm In convoys of ^Esilence the cat^Dtle graze

[Bridge]

^E That certain texture, that ^Bmcertain beat ^Bm Brings forth the ^Dnight time ^Eheat, chi-cow

[Chorus]

^BmOut on the ^Dpatio ^E we'd ^Gsit ^BmAnd the hum^Didity ^E we'd ^Gbreathe ^BmWe'd watch the ^Dlightning ^E crack over ^Gcane fields ^Asus4Laugh and think that ^Athis is Australi^Bma.
