The Lucky Country Chords

[Chorus]
C#m
We don't know how lucky we are
C#m
When the bough breaks we'll never fall far
C#m
Mama's gonna buy you a brand new car
C#m
We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
 
[Interlude]
C#m    B    G#    A  (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
C#m                                   C#m    B    G#    A
Someone called this the lucky country
C#m                                 C#m    B    G#    A
Where our leadership is second-rate
C#m                                              C#m    B    G#    A
So while the world outside's got bigger problems
G#                     A
We expect it all on a silver spoon
                         G#
On a nickel plate, in an iron cup
                     C#m    B    G#    A
On a tax-free bed of gold
C#m                                      C#m    B    G#    A
And this place here was built by misfits
C#m                               C#m    B    G#    A
English, Irish, Scottish convicts
C#m                                       C#m    B    G#    A
But a lot has changed since that invasion
    G#                        A
So don't forget that this is not England
 
That it's not Ireland
           G#
That it's called Australia
 
[Interlude]
C#m    B    G#    A (x2)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  G#               A
What are you so afraid of?
     C#m      B        G#     A
The world outside's already here
  G#                A
What are you all afraid of?
    C#m       B        G#       A
Our sons and daughter turning queer?
  G#                A
What are you all afraid of?
 C#m   B      G#      A
Surpluses and equal rights?
C#m        B           G#        A
People in boats, they cost you votes
         G#       A             G#       A
They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives
     G#       A
And kill our vibe
 
[Chorus]
C#m
We don't know how lucky we are
C#m
When the bough breaks we'll never fall far
C#m
Gina's gonna buy you a brand new car
C#m
We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
 
[Interlude]
C#m    B    G#    A  (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
C#m                                    C#m    B    G#    A
Someone called this the land of plenty
C#m                                          C#m    B    G#    A
Where pockets are deep, but hearts are empty
C#m                                                 C#m    B    G#    A
And "fuck off, we're full", these words were spoken
G#                       A
As he laid in it with a racist joke, with a heavy yoke
        G#                G#
With a gavel stick and a boot cap made of steel
 
[Interlude]
C#m    B    G#    A (x2)
 
[Bridge]
    G#             A
And I never wanna hear you say
      G#                 A
That you're never gonna live that way
    E  G#     E  G#
For I---, for I---
 
[Verse 3]
C#m                                      C#m    B    G#    A
So, we kill ourselves for our occupation
C#m                                           C#m    B    G#    A
And we'll let those die that try to take them
C#m                           C#m    B    G#    A
So much pain, so little glory
          G#                        A
But we'll do what we must for that trip to Rome
                                    G#
For that brand new phone, for that reno'd home
          G#
For that tax-free bed of gold
 
[Interlude]
C#m    B    G#    A (x2)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  G#               A
What are you so afraid of?
     C#m      B        G#     A
The world outside's already here
  G#                A
What are you all afraid of?
    C#m       B        G#       A
Our sons and daughter turning queer?
  G#                A
What are you all afraid of?
 C#m   B      G#      A
Surpluses and equal rights?
C#m        B           G#        A
People in boats, they cost you votes
         G#       A             G#       A
They'll take our jobs, they'll take our wives
     G#       A
And kill our vibe
 
[Chorus]
C#m
We don't know how lucky we are
C#m
When the bough breaks we'll never fall far
C#m
Gina's gonna buy you a brand new car
C#m                                  C#m
We don't know how lucky we, lucky we are
