[Intro]
G Em C G Am G D G
[Verse 1]
G D C G
Galleries of pink galahs, crystal nights with diamond stars
Am G D G
apricots preserved in jars, that's my home
G D C G
Land of oceans in the sun, purple hazes river gum
Am G D G
breaks your heart when rain won't come, it breaks your heart
[Chorus]
G C
It takes a harsh and cruel drought
G C
to sort the weaker saplings out
G C
it makes room for stronger trees
Am C G
maybe that's what life's about
G C
Winter's come, the hills are brown
G C
shops are closed the blinds are down
G C Am G
everybody's leavin' town they can't go on
[Solo]
G Em C G Am G D G
[Verse 2]
G D
The south wind through veranda gauze
C G
whines and bangs the homestead doors
Am G D G
a mother curses dusty floors and feels alone
G D
Trucks and bulk bins filled with rust
C G
boy leaves home to make a crust
Am G D G
a father's dreams reduced to dust but he must go on
[Chorus]
G C
Tortured red gums unashamed
G C
sunburnt country wisely named
G C
chisel-ploughed and wire claimed
Am C G
but never never never tamed
[Solo]
G C G C G Am C G D C G D G D G
[Verse 3]
G D C G
Whirlwind swirls a paper high same old news of further dry
Am G D G
of broken clouds just passing by that's my home
G D C G
Land of oceans in the sun purple hazes river gum
Am G D G
breaks your heart when rain won't come it breaks your heart
[Fade Out]
