It's a ^Dcorrugated highway leading ^A/C#north from Port Augusta lined With ^Bmratted cars that ^Gdidn't ^Bmrate a ^Atow ^DSalt plains out of Pimba and your ^Bmeyes begin to stream Onto Kin^Ggoonya, huddled ^Cdusty by the ^Aroad

Ro^Dmantic notions shattered like the ^A/C#tyres that didn't hack it This has ^Bmgot to be the ^Gcountries ^Bmlast fron^Atier Where a ^Dsports cars next to useless, running ^Bmcattle grids and river beds We ^Gdrove a van from ^C196^A3
