Great Southern Land Icehouse
INTRO:
|E F#|E F#|E F#|
VERSE 1:
Standing at the [E]limit of an endless ocean,
Stranded like a [F#]runaway lost at sea.
[E]City on a rainy day down in the harbour,
Watching as [F#]the gray clouds shadow the bay.
Looking every[E]where, ' had to find you,
This is not [F#]the way that I remember it here.
Anyone, will [E]tell you it's a prisoner island,
Hidden in [F#]the summer for a million years.
REFRAIN 1:
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C/G] [D] [Am]
They burned you black.[C/G] [D] [Am]
VERSE 2:
So you look [E]into the land, it will tell you a story,
Story about a [F#]journey ended long ago.
Listen to the [E]motion of the wind in the mountains,
Maybe you can [F#]hear them talking, like I do?
They're gonna [E]betray you, they're gonna forget you,
Are you gonna let them [F#]take you over that way?
CHORUS 1:
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C] [D] [Am]
In the sleeping sun.[C] [D] [Am]
You walk alone,[C] [D] [Am]
With the ghost of time.[C] [D] [Am]
And they burned you black,[C] [D] [Am]
Black against the ground.[C] [D] [Am]
And they make it work,[C] [D] [Am]
With rocks and sand.[C] [D] [Am]
VERSE 3:
[D#m]I hear the sound,[C#m5] [Dm5]
[D#m]Of the strangers' voices.[C#m5] [Dm5]
[D#m]I see their hungry eyes,[C#m5] [Dm5]
[D#m]Their hungry eyes.[C#m5] [Dm5]
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C] [D] [Am]
Great Southern Land.[C] [D] [Am]
You walk alone,[C] [D] [Am]
Like a primitive man.[C] [D] [Am]
You walk alone,[C] [D] [Am]
With the ghost of time.[C] [D] [Am]
C D* Am
And they burned you black,
Yeah, they burned you black[C].[D] [Am]
