[Intro]
F C F C
 
[Verse 1]
C
There's a message from the Outback,
  F             C
A murmur on the breeze;
     F
From restless dreams,
G7             C
Awaken me this morning.
 
C
The message came from Uluru,
    F               C
The spirit's ill at ease;
   F
In ancient voices,
G7             C
Sounding out a warning.
 
F
"You've taken all you wanted",
G                     C
I heard the anguished cry;
F
"The time has come to say "enough",
G
Before the well runs dry"!
 
[Chorus]
C       F         G
This is Australia Calling
C       F         G
This is Australia Calling
 
F                G
 
[Verse 2]
C
Here comes the future,
F            C
Time to fire up;
      F
Gotta find a way,
   G7               C
To get this country rolling.
 
C
Doom and gloom is easy,
F                    C
We've gotta shake it off!
F            G7           C
Gotta get up early in the morning.
 
F
The honeymoon is over,
G                C
Can you hear the call;
F
We've gotta come out fighting,
G
Our backs against the wall!
 
[Chorus]
C       F         G
This is Australia Calling
C       F         G
This is Australia Calling
