Great southern land by Icehouse
Intro: A Em D
A
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Em
stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
D
city on a rainy day down in the harbor
A
watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
Em
looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
A
this is not the way that i remember it here
D
anyone will tell you its a prisoner island
A
hidden in the summer for a million years
Am F A Am
Great Southern Land, burned you black
A
So you look into the land and it will tell you a story
Em
story 'bout a journey ended long ago
D
if you listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
A
maybe you can hear them talking like I do
Em
". . they're gonna betray, they're gonna forget you
A
are you gonna let them take you over this way . ."
Am F A
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
Am A
you walk alone, like a primitive man
Am F
and they make it work, with sticks and bones,
A Am
see their hungry eyes, its a hungry home,
F A
I hear the sound, of the stranger's voices,
Am F
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Am F Am F
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
A Am
they burned you black, black against the ground
Am F A
Great Southern Land, in the sleeping sun
Am F
you walk alone with the ghost of time
A Am
they burned you black, black against the ground
F A
and they make it work with rocks and sand
Am F A
I hear the sound of the stanger's voices
F A
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
Am F A
Great Southern Land, Great Southern Land
