[Intro]
D     Em7/D  x3
 
 
[Verse 1]
      D
Where ancient mountains are whittled down
D
Millions of years to a little mound
D                            Em7/D
Where giant feet are fossil found
       D
I see spinifex surfing on a dune,
D
The rock is redder in the afternoon
D                      Em7/D
Tourists clicking madly soon
 
 
[Chorus]
     Em7/D
Where spring will come with any rain
Em7/D
A chance to flower and seed again
Em7/D
Forever garden risin' plain
                         D        Em7/D
The dangers of the wild remain
 
D   Em7/D
 
 
[Verse 2]
    D
And away up there where the wind is blown
D
Never before felt so alone
                       Em7/D
More aware of skin and bone
 
D
I watch the parade of human folk
D
Strips of rubber, cans of Coke
D                       Em7/D
Making dust and blowing smoke
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7/D
Where the awe-inspiring power of time
Em7/D
Leave some fearful, some sublime
Em7/D
White man finds his progress prime
                            D        Em7/D
Black man feels no urge to climb
 
D   Em7/D
 
 
[Verse 3]
    D
Now I believe we all are one
D
Features and creatures in the sun
D                        Em7/D
Breathing the air we all belong
 
  D
I have a dream I can't explain
D
Wattle soldiers, making claim
                     Em7/D
And paradise returns again
 
 
[Chorus]
Em7/D
Where spring will come with any rain
Em7/D
A chance to flower and seed again
Em7/D
Forever garden risin' plain
                         D
The dangers of the wild remain
 
Em7/D
Where the awe-inspiring power of time
Em7/D
Leave some fearful, some sublime
Em7/D
White man finds his progress prime
                            D
Black man feels no urge to climb
