Standard (EADGBE)

When your drifting on the ocean

 and the sea is a perfect blue

But those storm clouds on the horizon

 are keeping you true to who are you

(Chorus)

 So take me away 'cross the spinifex plains

 where the true mirage never ends

 And the smell of the rain is a long way away

 lay me down on my dry river bed

Don't have no white picket fence,

don't have no green english lawn

Just got heat waves dancing for me,

on the red dirt where I was born

(Chorus)

Feel the heart of my country,

beating to them lonely blues

Gotta get back there, gotta get back there,

I'll be back there real soon

(Chorus)
