[Verse 1]
A
I, I was
      F#m              Em         A
I was shaken down in a toy town
A
He, he's out there
               F#m                   Em                  A
You know it's Kennedy's shadow from White Cross to Michigan
 A
ATMs in the air
 F#m                         Em                 A
Oh yeah, machines, they are spinning out everywhere
       D
The speaker is speaking, can you hear the sound?
The listener is listening as he hits the ground
                                       F#m     C#7
The medium or the message but there's no-one around
 
[Chorus]
F#m D  F#m   E             F#m D  F#m   E
I               couldn't believe
             F#m         A      Esus4   E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
      F#m     D      E   G
Were waiting for me
A   A
 
[Verse 2]
         A
We were dancing, we were dancing on the plain
      F#m                                Em               A
Were looking through the window, didn't see any buffalo there
            A
We got our pipe dreams, they went up in smoke dreams
 F#m                   Em                     A
Burn it clean in the climate control of your hypermart malls
 A
Don't want to talk about Elvis Presley
Don't want to see his white shoes walkin'
 F#m                   Em                     A
Around and around and around and around over here
      D
The press baron's acting up the mainframes are down
The newspapers crawling around on the ground
                                         F#m     C#7
The medium or the message still there's no-one around
 
[Chorus]
F#m D  F#m   E             F#m D  F#m   E
I               couldn't believe
             F#m         A      Esus4   E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
      F#m     D      E   G
Were waiting for me
 
[Bridge]
 C                              Am
Over the hills and mountains we go
    G      F    C   G
So far so far away
         C                          Am
For the ring of the axe on the ironbark
          G            F       C    G
For the smell of the wallaby stew
          A      D            A         F#m
From the golden reefs to the sandstone cliffs
           E                G      D    E
Came the sheep pens of the mallee plain
     A             D            A     F#m
The wind blew the soil to the Orient
           E               G     D
We'll be shouting to the skies again
 
[Chorus]
F#m D  F#m   E             F#m D  F#m   E
I               couldn't believe
             F#m         A      Esus4   E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
      F#m     D      E   G
Were waiting for me
F#m D  F#m   E             F#m D  F#m   E
I               couldn't believe
             F#m         A      Esus4   E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
      F#m     D      E      G
Were living in me, raining down on me
F#m D  F#m   E             F#m D  F#m   E
I               couldn't believe
             F#m         A      Esus4   E
I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton
      F#m     D      E   G
Were washing down on me
 
[Outro]
