I've been to cities that never close down

I still call Australia home

F A7 Dm F
I'm always trav'lin' I love being free

But my heart lies waiting - over the foam
F Gm7/C C7 F
I still call Australia home
Turnaround: |E |
Am Am7/G# Am7/G D/F#
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Dm G7 C E
Away from their family and friends
Am Am7/G# Am7/G D/F#
But as the world gets older and colder
Dm Dm/G C7
It's good to know where your, journey ends
F A7 Dm F
But someday we'll all be together once more
