Tuning: E A D G B E

Simplified version of the awesome Xavier Rudd song 'Storm Boy' - for beginners. It sounds good if you just play the chords, but if you can finger pick it and even drop in some pull offs & hammer-ons on the G and B strings it will sound closer to the original. Epic song - enjoy singing round a campfire! Pretty much just G C Em D througout the whole song (except the 'sha la la' parts of the chorus)... [INTRO] G C Em D [Verse 1]

^GWhen will you learn that the more that you take means the ^Cless that you have at the end of the day ^EmStillness of the mind is so hard to embrace

^DFreedom of the heart is what we crave And we ^Gsit by the river with a cup of tea

Watch the ^Cmovement of the tide in the gentle breeze ^EmPelican drifting slowly looking for a feed

Like Mr ^DPercival the storm boy, you to me ^GKookaburra calls just like he knows

And I ^Ccall right back "Yes I'm home" He's ^Embeen with me

He's watched me ^Dgrow

Through those rainy days and those rocky roads [Chorus]

And now ^Geverybody smiles in the setting sun And ^Csighs with contentment when the day is done

^EmHand in hand

With the one you love

Feeling ^Dblessed by the magic of the moon above And we ^Gsing

Sha la ^Cla la la la ^Dlah We're just ^Emliving in this ^Dbeautiful ^Gworld

[Verse 2]

It's ^Gtime for fire

Smoke and leaves

The ^Conly mosquito repellent we need Pay res^Empect to the North the South the West and the East

Pay res^Dpect to the spirit of this whole country ^GFreedom in the hearts of the young and brave

Who know ^Clittle of the journey of the diggers who gave Their ^Emlives to the service and the government gains

So that ^Dwe could dance together on this beautiful day

[Chorus]

And now ^Geverybody smiles in the setting sun And ^Csighs with contentment when the day is done

^EmHand in hand

With the one you love

Feeling ^Dblessed by the magic of the moon above And we s^Ging

Sha la ^Cla la la la ^Dlah We're just ^Emliving in this ^Dbeautiful ^Gworld

[Bridge]

^GOhh ^COhh

^EmAye Now the ^Gwinter seeps into my bones And I ^Chear the call from the North

Yeah ^EmI will go Yeah ^DI will go

[Chorus]

And now ^Geverybody smiles in the setting sun And ^Csighs with contentment when the day is done

^EmHand in hand

With the one you love

Feeling ^Dblessed by the magic of the moon above And we s^Ging

Sha la ^Cla la la la ^Dlah We're just ^Emliving in this ^Dbeautiful ^Gworld

^GSha la ^Cla la la la ^Dlah We're just ^Emliving in this ^Dbeautiful ^Gworld
