RAINING ON THE ROCK - John Williamson
Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann 

Raining On The Rock is in Drop-D tuning with a capo on the 1st fret,
although it will be much less confusing if I do the transcription
without taking the capo into account:

CHORD FORMATIONS:
        DADGBE
D       000232
Em7/D   010000

NOTE: In the first verse & chorus, only the bottom three strings are 
      strummed (as in the intro), but after the run-down full chords
      are used


D                          Em7/D
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,
                                                          D
We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever roll.
                           Em7/D
Where Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,
                                           D
And a shower has changed the lustre of his land.


CHORUS:
                        Em7/D                D
And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country,
                        Em7/D                         D
And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine.
                        Em7/D                           D
And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see.
                     Em7/D                            D
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.

D                         Em7/D
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose,
                                          D
Where does their beauty come from, heaven knows.
                              Em7/D
I could ask the wedgetail but he's away too high,
                                             D
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly.


CHORUS

RUN-DOWN x2

   D                          Em7/D
It cannot be described with a picture,
                               D
The mesmerising colours of the Olgas.
                       Em7/D
Or the grandeur of the rock,
         D
Uluru is power!
