John Williamson - Raining on the rock

^DPastel red to burgundy and ^Em7spinifex to gold We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever ^Droll Where Albert Namatjira has ^Em7painted all the scenes And a shower has changed the lustre of his ^Dland

And it's raining on the ^Em7rock in a beautiful co^Duntry And I'm proud to travel ^Em7this big land like an Aborigi^Dne And it's raining on the ^Em7rock what an almighty sight to ^Dsee And I'm wishing on a ^Em7postcard that you were here with ^Dme

^DEverlasting daisies and a ^Em7beautiful desert rose Where does their beauty come from, heaven ^Dknows I could ask the wedgetail but ^Em7he's away too high I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to ^Dfly

And it's raining on the ^Em7rock in a beautiful co^Duntry And I'm proud to travel ^Em7this big land like an Aborigi^Dne And it's raining on the ^Em7rock what an almighty sight to ^Dsee And I'm wishing on a ^Em7postcard that you were here with ^Dme

It ^Dcannot be described with a ^Em7picture The mesmerising colours of the ^DOlgas Or the grandeur of the ^Em7rock Uluru is ^Dpower

And it's raining on the ^Em7rock in a beautiful co^Duntry And I'm proud to travel ^Em7this big land like an Aborigi^Dne And it's raining on the ^Em7rock what an almighty sight to ^Dsee And I'm wishing on a ^Em7postcard that you were here with ^Dme
