[G]// [Gmaj7]// [Em]//// [C]// [D]// [G]////
Now I'm [G] drowning [D] in the [G] sunshine
as it [C] pours down from the [G] skies,
And there's [G] something [Gmaj7] stirring [Em] in my heart;
Bright [C] colours fill my [D] eyes.
As from [G] here to the [D] far hor-[G]izon Your [C] beauty does unfold,
And [G] oh, you [Gmaj7] look so [Em] lovely
[C] dressed in [D] green and [G] gold.
[G]// [Gmaj7]// [Em]//// [C]// [D]// [G]////
And I can [G] almost [D] touch the [G] ocean,
shimmering [C] in the distant [G] haze
As I [G] stand here [Gmaj7] on this [Em] mountain,
on this [C] loveliest day of [D] days.
Round [G] half the [D] world I've [G] drifted,
left [C] no wild oats unsown,
But [G] now my [Gmaj7] view has [Em] shifted
and I [C] think I've [D] just come [G] home.
[G]// [Gmaj7]// [Em]//// [C]// [D]// [G]////
To the [G] homeless [D] and the [G] hungry,
may you [C] always open [G] doors,
May the [G] restless [Gmaj7] and the [Em] weary
find safe [C] harbour on your [D] shores.
May you [G] always [D] be our [G] dreamtime place
our [C] spirit's glad [G] release
May you [G] always [Gmaj7] be my [Em] shelter,
may we [C] always [D] live in [G] peace.
[G]// [Gmaj7]// [Em]//// [C]// [D]// [G]////
So I'm [G] drowning [D] in the [G] sunshine
as it [C] pours down from the [G] skies,
And there's [G] something [Gmaj7] stirring [Em] in my heart,
bright [C] colours fill my [D] eyes.
As from [G] here to the [D] far hor-[G]izon
Your [C] beauty does unfold,
And [G] oh, you [Gmaj7] look so [Em] lovely
[C] dressed in [D] green and [G] gold.
[G]// [Gmaj7]// [Em]////
[C] Dressed in [D] green and [G] gold.
