[Verse 1]
 
Am                     C
Pushin' ever westward, across the great divide
Dm                        F
Beyond the darling river, towards the outback sky..
    Am                     C
The lawless and the brave, searching a dream
     Dm                                       F
When all they found was sand and stone, where rivers once had been..
     Am                           C
They tried to follow nomads, like ghosts in desert dreams,
    Dm                                 F               G
And suffered in a sunburnt land.. Down in the last frontier..
 
 
[Chorus]
                            F
And they sent them from the motherlands,
  Am
Into the greatest fear..
                    G
To live and die for freedoms cry,
Dm          G        Am
Down in the last frontier..
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
  Am                              C
A drover rides in search of work, across the sweeping plains
  Dm                                        F
A farmer kneels in a hungry church, as his children pray for rain..
     Am                             C
Back in a land across the sea, they found another war
     Dm                               F                   G
They asked the Anzacs to believe.. in what their fighting for..
 
 
[Chorus]
                       F
And they sent them to another land,
 Am
Into the greatest fear..
                     G
To fight and die for freedoms cry,
Dm          G        Am
And for the last frontier..
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                             C
People in the luckly land, who searched for paradise
    Dm                                        F
Are reaching out for something more, and they don't believe their lies..
    Am                               C
The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears
    Dm
The hungry and the homeless cry,
     F               G
Down in the last frontier..
 
 
[Chorus]
                      F
And they sent them to another land,
 Am
Into the greatest fear..
                    G
To live and die for freedoms cry,
F            G        Am
And for the last frontier..
 
 
[Repeat last chorus twice to fade]
                F
The promises of hope and work,
      Am
still ringing in their ears..
                   G
The hungry and the homeless cry,
F           G     Am
Down in the last frontier..
