The Great Divide
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G
It's funny how you wanna go
Em
When they say you're gonna stay at home
Am
We're a land of nomads
Am D
Born free to roam
G
I thought we were a country
Em
But it seems we're three or four
Am
Can't go back to my home town
Am D G Em
'Cause it's against the law
[Verse 2]
G
Yeah, it's funny how you wanna go
Em
More than you did before
Am
But I wanna go out west
Am D
I don't wanna leave the shore
G
I just wanna be Australian
Em
There's so much to explore
Am
Wouldn't mind seeing my children
Am D G
But that's against the law
[Chorus]
C G Am
You can call it the great divide
C G Am
Not talking about a range
C G Am
Never in our nation's history
Am D G Em
Has living been so strange
[Verse 3]
G
Suddenly, I wanna leave
Em
When I'm told I've gotta stay
Am
Many people so close to me
Am D
Are now so far away
G
They're all south of the border
Em
I'm not talking about Mexico
Am
I'm talking about Australia
Am D G
Where inland rivers flow
[Chorus]
C G Am
You can call it the great divide
C G Am
Not talking about a range
C G Am
Never in our nation's history
Am D G Em G Em
Has living been so strange
Ab
Will it be all over
Gb
In 2021?
Bbm
A good number for a birthday
Bbm Eb Ab
A year for everyone
Ab
To celebrate the freedom
Gb
Of a land of sweeping plains
Bbm
Of rugged mountain ranges
Bbm Eb Ab
Of droughts and flooding rains
Ab
Of wallflowers in the springtime
Gb
Koalas in the trees
Bbm
And brolgas flying southward
Bbm Eb Ab
With the warming summer breeze
[Chorus]
Db Ab Bbm
It's just a line on our back
Db Ab Bbm
Or a river running through
Db Ab Bbm
We should be just as free
Bbm Eb Ab
As the big red kangaroo
Db Ab Bbm
You can call it the great divide
Db Ab Bbm
Not talking about a range
Db Ab Bbm
Never in our nation's history
Bbm Eb Ab
Has living been so strange
