Tuning:
My own take on such an awesome classic song, with quite the Aussie flair pumped in it to begin with. It's always
been such a fun song to play, whether it be to sing, do lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums...
This is my go-to song for when I feel down or feel not myself. Hope it still has the same effect

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous.
Then she took me in and gave me breakfast. And she said:

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear? Can't you hear the thunder?
Well, you better run or you better take cover"

Buying bread from a man in Brussels.
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles.
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
And he just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich. And he said:

'I come from a land down under.
Where beer does flow and men chunder.
Can't you hear? Can't you hear the thunder?
You better run and you better take cover. Yeah'

With a slack jaw, and not much to say.

Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said!:

'Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear? Can't you hear the thunder? (yeah!)
You better run. You'd better take cover'
Living in a land down under.
Where women glow and men plunder.
Can't you hear? Can't you hear the thunder?
Hell, you better run. Hell, you better take cover!...
