[Intro]
D  G  D  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
     D                     G       D                G
I'll sing you the deserts,   where black men sailed,
D                   G       D                 G
waterhole to water,   where white men failed.
D                         G     D            G
See the face of dreamers,    forgotten souls,
D                            G  D                    G
hear the voice of cattlemen     crackle in the coals.
Em
Maybe we will learn what's written in the sand,
  Em                   A              D      G
a thousand generations living off the land.
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                    G  D                         G
I'll sing you the waters,    runnin' through the town,
D               G        D                     G
wildflowers and wattles, when it settles down.
    Em
The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free,
   Em                               A        D    G
no way can I find an end to what it means to me.
    D        G
The Outback.
 
 
[Verse 2]
     D                    G  D              G
I'll sing you the miners,    steel and coal,
D                   G  D                G
opals and diamonds,    silver and gold.
D                       G    D             G
Emeralds and sapphires,    I wish for you,
D                    G  D           G
holes in the Outback,   down below.
        Em
There's lakes and there's rivers, caves to be found,
    Em                        A    D       G
and there's another landscape underground.
 
 
[Chorus]
     D                    G   D                         G
I'll sing you the waters,     runnin' through the town,
D               G        D                     G
wildflowers and wattles, when it settles down.
    D               G         D            G
The backbone of the women who fight on and on,
    D              G           D               G
the healing of the sunset when all is said and done.
    Em
The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free,
Em                          A                D    G
no way can I find an end to what it means to me.
 
 
[Outro]
D                G       D         G
What it means to me, the Outback.
D                G       D         G
What it means to me, the Outback.
D                G       D         G
What it means to me, the Outback.
D N.C.           G N.C.  D         G
What it means to me, the Outback.
