Capo 1st fret

D

Intro

CHORD FORMATIONS:

NOTE: In the first verse & chorus, only the bottom three strings are

strummed (as in the intro), but after the run-down full chords

are used

Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,

 We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever roll.

 Where Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,

 And a shower has changed the lustre of his land.

Chorus

 And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country,

 And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine.

 And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see.

 And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.

Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose,

 Where does their beauty come from, heaven knows.

 I could ask the wedgetail but he's away too high,

 I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly.

Chorus

RUN-DOWN x2

 It cannot be described with a picture,

 The mesmerising colours of the Olgas.

 Or the grandeur of the rock,

 Uluru is power!

Chorus

RUN-DOWN x3
