Introduction:

Big galvanised roofs and monster pipes black
G7 C
Pink and white clouds from a chimney stack
C F
Red dust and hawks in the wind out back
G7 C
And here I am at the Isa
C F
What do you do in a town like the Isa
G7 C
Retrenched at 50 become an old miser
C F
Drink yourself blind so you're none the wiser
G7 C
Sit at home with the race form and whinge
C F
Just over the hill in his own backyard
G7 C
The landscape becomes a picture postcard
C F
Where the colours are soft but the life is hard
G7 C
On the stations here at the Isa
C F G7 C F G7 C
Tonight's the night of the rodeo ball
Before riders and bull and horses stand tall
C F G7 C F G7 C
Through the Leichhardt East
Where fools gold flashes
C F G7 C F G7 C
And it takes a special kind of girl
To stay out here in this rugged world
C F G7 C F G7 C
Big galvanised roofs and monster pipes black
Pink and white clouds from a chimney stack
C F
Never thought I'd return to this lonely track
G7 C
And here I am back at the Isa
