VERSE 1:
D                           A
its a plume of dust down an old dirt road
     G
and hanging off the rails at the rodeo
D                    A
a back verandah with creaking boards
        G
and the dark range of a thunderstorm
        D                   A
its the stockmans bar at an old bush pub
    Bm               G
and chasing mickey's though the scrub
D                      A
its planting seeds and praying for rain
        G                A
and the red dust running through your veins

when my wheels hit the gravel road it feels like home

scones in the oven and preserves in jars

talking prces at the saleyards
    D                       A
its long straight roads and one horse towns
    Bm                  G

feilds of wheat and rows of corn
D               A
a rusty tank and flaking paint
G/B               G
a weary digger on ANZAC day
D                       A
its the dreamtime land and uluru

aborigine didgeridoo

the spirit of a hard won land
