[D]Ga[D/C#]lleri[G/B]es o[D/A]f pink galahs, crystal nights with diamond stars
[G6]Apr[D/F#]icots[D/A] pre[D/E]serv[D/A]ed i[D]n jars, that's my home
[D]La[D/C#]nd of[G/B] oce[D/A]ans in the sun, purple hazes, river gum
[G6]It [D/F#]break[D/A]s yo[D/E]ur h[D/A]eart[D] when rain won't come, it breaks your heart
[D]It[G6/D] take[D]s [G6/D]a harsh and cruel drought to sort the weaker saplings out
[G6/D]It ma[D]kes room for stronger trees, maybe that's what life's about
[D]Wi[G6/D]nter'[D]s [G6/D]come, the hills are brown, the shops are closed, the blinds
are down
[D]Ev[G6/D]erybo[D]dy's leaving town, they can't go on
[D]Th[D/C#]e sou[G/B]th w[D/A]ind through verandah gauze, whines and bangs the homestead
doors
[G6]A m[D/F#]other[D/A] cur[D/E]ses [D/A]dust[D]y floors, and feels alone
[D]Tr[D/C#]ucks [G/B]and [D/A]bulk bins filled with rust, boy leaves home to make a crust
[G6]A f[D/F#]ather[D/A]'s d[D/E]ream[D/A]s re[D]duced to dust, but he must go on
[D]To[G6/D]rture[D]d [G6/D]redgums unashamed, sunburnt country, wisely named
[G6/D]Chise[D]l ploughed and wire claimed, but never never, never tamed
SOLO: (Not relative to capo, played on electric guitar)
