Introduction:
Am C
Pushin' ever westward, across the great divide
Dm F
Beyond the darling river, towards the outback sky..
Am C
The lawless and the brave, searching a dream
Dm F
When all they found was sand and stone, where rivers once had been..
Am C
They tried to follow nomads, like ghosts in desert dreams,
Dm F G
And suffered in a sunburnt land.. Down in the last frontier..
F
And they sent them from the motherlands,
Am
Into the greatest fear..
G
To live and die for freedoms cry,
Dm G Am
Down in the last frontier..
Am C
A drover rides in search of work, across the sweeping plains
Dm F
A farmer kneels in a hungry church, as his children pray for rain..
Am C
Back in a land across the sea, they found another war
Dm F G
They asked the Anzacs to believe.. in what their fighting for..
F
And they sent them to another land,
Am
Into the greatest fear..
G
To fight and die for freedoms cry,
Dm G Am
And for the last frontier..
Am C
People in the luckly land, who searched for paradise
Dm F
Are reaching out for something more, and they don't believe their lies..
Am C
The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears
Dm
The hungry and the homeless cry,
F G
Down in the last frontier..
F
And they sent them to another land,
Am
Into the greatest fear..
G
To live and die for freedoms cry,
F G Am
And for the last frontier..
F
The promises of hope and work,
Am
still ringing in their ears..
G
The hungry and the homeless cry,
F G Am
Down in the last frontier..
