[Am] [D] [C] x4
I think I [Am] hear the sounds of then
[D] And people [C] talking
The [Am] scenes recalled, [D] by minute [C] movement
And [Am] songs they fall, [D] from the [C] backing tape
That [Am] certain texture, [D] that certain [C] smell
To [Am] lie in sweat, [D] on fa-[C]miliar sheets
[Am] In brick veneer on [D] financed [C] beds
[Am] In a room, [D] of silent [C] hardiflex
That [Am] certain texture, [D] that certain [C] smell
[D] Brings home the [Am] heavy days
[Am] Brings home the [C] night time [D] swell
{soc}
[Am] Out on the [C] patio [D] we'd [F] sit
[Am] And the hu-[C]midity [D] we'd [F] breathe
[Am] We'd watch the [C] lightning [D] crack over [F] canefields
[Am] Laugh and [C] think, [D] this is Au-[F]strali-[Am]a
{eoc}
[Am] [D] [C] x2
[Am] The block is awkward...[D] it [C] faces west
[Am] With long diagonals, [D] sloping [C] too
[Am] And in the distance, [D] through the [C] heat haze
[Am] In convoys of [D] silence the [C] cattle graze
[D] That certain texture, that [Am] certain beat
[Am] Brings forth the [C] night time [D] heat
{soc}
[Am] Out on the [C] patio [D] we'd [F] sit
[Am] And the hu-[C]midity [D] we'd [F] breathe
[Am] We'd watch the [C] lightning [D] crack over [F] canefields
[Am] Laugh and [C] think, [D] this is Au-[F]strali-[Am]a
{eoc}
[Am] [D] [C] x4
[Am] In a room, [D] of silent [C] hardiflex
That [Am] certain texture, [D] that certain [C] smell
[D] Brings home the [Am] heavy days
[Am] Brings home the [C] night time [D] swell
{soc}
[Am] Out on the [C] patio [D] we'd [F] sit
[Am] And the hu-[C]midity [D] we'd [F] breathe
[Am] We'd watch the [C] lightning [D] crack over [F] canefields
[Gsus4] Laugh and think that [G] this is Australi-[Am]a
{eoc}
{soc}
[Am] Out on the [C] patio [D] we'd [F] sit
[Am] And the hu-[C]midity [D] we'd [F] breathe
[Am] We'd watch the [C] lightning [D] crack over [F] canefields
[Am] Laugh and [C] think, [D] this is Au-[F]strali-[Am]a
[Am] Out on the [C] patio [D] we'd [F] sit
[Am] And the hu-[C]midity [D] we'd [F] breathe
[Am] We'd watch the [C] lightning [D] crack over [F] canefields
[Am] Laugh and [C] think, [D] this is Au-[F]strali-[Am]a
{eoc}
[D] This is Au-[C]strali-[Am]a
[D] This is Au-[C]strali-[Am]a
[D] This is Au-[C]strali-[Am]a
[D] This is Au-[C]strali-[Am]a (fade)
