                                 D      G
Now I could spend my holidays on videos galore
   C                        D         G
Or lie on the beach getting sorry and sore
   Em               C             D               G
Or I could sail the ocean and see another foreign shore
       Em             C            D               G      D G
Well I took my little kelpie and I sailed the nullabor
 
G                                 D         G
And I saw the colour changes from Albany to Broome
C                        D             G
A pair of white corellas singing out a tune
Em  D           C
Wildflowers in bloom
Em                  C                  D          G     D G
And I saw the rusty hamersley's from a dusty Wittenoom
 
G                         D
And saw the giant Karri's oh
    C        D         G
You couldn't paint the view
Em           D             C
Amazing what cross cut can do
Em                  C        D             G     D G
I would've liked to be there before, would you?
 
G                                D
And I heard about the whales and cried
C    D         G
Many thousands died
            Em       D       C
But they're swimming back to sing
Em              C            D         G      D G
I bet you never heard a more beautiful thing
 
G                                   D
And through the Swan Valley there's Banksias
    C        D        G
And warriors making a stand
     Em       D         C
Yeah look out for Black Boys
Em             C               D        G     D G
Like guardians protecting this dear old land
 
G                   D
Spinefex and Snappy Gums
C    D          G
Hazy green blue grey
Em        D       C
You gotta go that way
Em                C              D        G   D G
There nearly half Australia over there in WA
 
G                                    D         G
Well I saw the colours changing from Albany to Broome
C                        D             G
A pair of white corellas singing out a tune
Em  D          C
Wildflowers in bloom
Em                  C                  D     G          D G
And I saw the rusty hamersley's from a dusty Wittenoom
 
G                                   D
So you could spend your holidays on videos
C             D             G
Or lie on the beach getting sore
Em           D        C
Or you could sail the ocean
Em                      C             D        G
Why don't you take your best mate and sail the Nullabor
Em                      C             D        G
Why don't you take your best mate and sail the Nullabor, hey!
