RAINING ON THE ROCK - John Williamson
Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann
Raining On The Rock is in Drop-D tuning with a capo on the 1st fret,
although it will be much less confusing if I do the transcription
without taking the capo into account:

D Em7/D
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,
D
We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever roll.
Em7/D
Where Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,
D
And a shower has changed the lustre of his land.
CHORUS:
Em7/D D
And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country,
Em7/D D
And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine.
Em7/D D
And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see.
Em7/D D
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.

D Em7/D
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose,
D
Where does their beauty come from, heaven knows.
Em7/D
I could ask the wedgetail but he's away too high,
D
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly.
CHORUS
RUN-DOWN x2
D Em7/D
It cannot be described with a picture,
D
The mesmerising colours of the Olgas.
Em7/D
Or the grandeur of the rock,
D
Uluru is power!
