                   Bm              E          D
I think I hear the sounds of then, and people talking
    Bm              E         D
The scenes recalled by minute movement
    Bm              E        D
And songs they fall from the backing tape
     Bm               E            D
That certain texture, that certain smell
 
 
To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
 
 
E               Bm
Brings home the heavy days
Bm              D          E
Brings home the night time swell
 
Bm         D    E     G
Out on the patio we'd sit
Bm        D     E     G
And the humidity we'd breathe
Bm             D        E           G
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Bm        D     E        G       Bm
Laugh and think, this is Australia.
 
 
The block is awkward, it faces West
With long diagonals, sloping too
And in the distance, through the heat haze
In convoys of silence the cattle graze
 
 
That certain texture, that certain beat
Brings forth the night time heat
 
 
Bm         D    E     G
Out on the patio we'd sit
Bm        D     E     G
And the humidity we'd breathe
Bm             D        E           G
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Asus4                A               Bm
Laugh and think that this is Australia.

To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell
 
 
Brings forth the heavy days
Brings forth the night time swell
 
 
(x2):
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Laugh and think, this is Australia
 
This is Australia
This is Australia
This is Australia
