[Intro]
D Em7/D x3
[Verse 1]
D
Where ancient mountains are whittled down
D
Millions of years to a little mound
D Em7/D
Where giant feet are fossil found
D
I see spinifex surfing on a dune,
D
The rock is redder in the afternoon
D Em7/D
Tourists clicking madly soon
[Chorus]
Em7/D
Where spring will come with any rain
Em7/D
A chance to flower and seed again
Em7/D
Forever garden risin' plain
D Em7/D
The dangers of the wild remain
D Em7/D
[Verse 2]
D
And away up there where the wind is blown
D
Never before felt so alone
Em7/D
More aware of skin and bone
D
I watch the parade of human folk
D
Strips of rubber, cans of Coke
D Em7/D
Making dust and blowing smoke
[Chorus]
Em7/D
Where the awe-inspiring power of time
Em7/D
Leave some fearful, some sublime
Em7/D
White man finds his progress prime
D Em7/D
Black man feels no urge to climb
D Em7/D
[Verse 3]
D
Now I believe we all are one
D
Features and creatures in the sun
D Em7/D
Breathing the air we all belong
D
I have a dream I can't explain
D
Wattle soldiers, making claim
Em7/D
And paradise returns again
[Chorus]
Em7/D
Where spring will come with any rain
Em7/D
A chance to flower and seed again
Em7/D
Forever garden risin' plain
D
The dangers of the wild remain
Em7/D
Where the awe-inspiring power of time
Em7/D
Leave some fearful, some sublime
Em7/D
White man finds his progress prime
D
Black man feels no urge to climb
