Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay

Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you

Hidden in the summer for a million years
C#m
Great southern land, burned you black
Do you look into the land, it will tell you a story
C#m
Great southern land, great southern land
You walk alone like a primitive man
Abm
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
C#m
Great southern land, great southern land
They burned you black, black against the ground
C#m
Great southern land, in the sleeping sun
You walk alone with the ghost of time
Abm
I hear the sound of the strangers' voices
See their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
C#m
Great southern land, great southern land
You walk alone like a primitive man
