D D/C# G/B D/A
Galleries of pink galahs, crystal nights with diamond stars
G6 D/F# D/A D/E D/A D
Apricots preserved in jars, that's my home
D D/C# G/B D/A
Land of oceans in the sun, purple hazes, river gum
G6 D/F# D/A D/E D/A D
It breaks your heart when rain won't come, it breaks your heart


D G6/D D G6/D
It takes a harsh and cruel drought to sort the weaker saplings out
G6/D D
It makes room for stronger trees, maybe that's what life's about
D G6/D D G6/D
Winter's come, the hills are brown, the shops are closed, the blinds 

are down
D G6/D D
Everybody's leaving town, they can't go on





D D/C# G/B D/A
The south wind through verandah gauze, whines and bangs the homestead 

doors
G6 D/F# D/A D/E D/A D
A mother curses dusty floors, and feels alone
D D/C# G/B D/A
Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust, boy leaves home to make a crust
G6 D/F# D/A D/E D/A D
A father's dreams reduced to dust, but he must go on


D G6/D D G6/D
Tortured redgums unashamed, sunburnt country, wisely named
G6/D D
Chisel ploughed and wire claimed, but never never, never tamed


SOLO: (Not relative to capo, played on electric guitar)

D D/C# G/B D/A
Whirlwind swirls a paper high, same old news of further dry
G6 D/F# D/A D/E D/A D
Of broken clouds just passing by, that's my home
D D/C# G/B D/A
Land of oceans in the sun, purple hazes, river gum
G6 D/F# D/A D/E D/A D
It breaks your heart when rain won't come, it breaks your heart
