Great southern land by Icehouse
Intro: A Em D
StAanding at the limit of an endless ocean
stranded like a runaway,Em lost at sea
city on a rainy day doDwn in the harbor
watching as the grey clouds shadowA the bay
looking everywhere 'cause EmI had to find you
this is not the way thAat i remember it here
anyone will tell you its Da prisoner island
hidden in the summer Afor a million years
Great Southern Land, Amburned you black F A Am
ASo you look into the land and it will tell you a story
story 'bout a journeyEm ended long ago
if you listen to the motion Dof the wind in the mountains
maybe you can hear them talking like I dAo
". . they're gonna betEmray, they're gonna forget you
are you gonna let theAm take you over this way . ."
Great Southern Land, GAmreat Southern Land F A
you walk alone, lAmike a primitive man A
and they make it work, witAmh sticks and bones, F
