Capo 1
[Intro]
D
FDrom coast to coast by niEght and day
Hear the clA7icking of the wheDels
The huGmming of the diesel
On her ribbons of steel
CAarrying the memories
Of a nation built by hand
See the Indian Pacific span the lDand
SDhe's the pride of all the raEilway men
Cross coA7untry where she fDlies
From the bGlue Pacific waters
To where the mountains rise
By laAkes and wide brown rivers
Through desert country dry
See the Indian Pacific passing Dby
Oh the InGdian Pacific
She goes roDlling down the track
Five thGousand miles to travel
BDefore she's there and bAack
BDeside the line a drEover waves
His baA7ttered old grey hDat
And kGids are catching yabbies
Down by the river flat
And a wAoman hangs her washing
In the backyard near the line
As the Indian Pacific's rolling Dby
[Fiddle Solo]
D G D A D G D A D
HDear the whistle blowing loEnely
'Neath the NuA7llabor star liDght
SGaluting those who walked across
The track she rides tonight
CAalling to the railway camp
And the fettlers on the line
I'm the Indian Pacific right on tDime
FDrom the silver of the BrEoken Hill
To oA7ld Kalgoorlie gDold
SGhe mirrors all the colours
Of the land so hard and old
Then the weAstern flowers are blooming
And the air is just like wine
And the Indian Pacific's making tDime
Oh the InGdian Pacific
She goes roDlling down the track
Five thoGusand miles to travel
BDefore she's there and bAack
From the waDters of the weEstern sea
To the eaA7stern ocean sDand
The InGdian PacAific spans the lDand
Oh The InGdian PacAific spans the lDand
