  			The song is played with a capo on the second fret, however the 
transcripton will be done without taking the capo into account.

        G      D/F#      G 
You can almost touch the ocean 
           C              G 
Shimmering in the distant haze, 
       G           G/F#   Em 
As you stand there on the mountain 
        C                D 
On this loveliest day of days. 
      G        D/F#         G 
Round half the world you've drifted 
     C 
Left no wild oats unsown, 
    G        G/F#     Em 
But now your view has shifted 
        C            D         G 
And you think you've just come home. 
 
 
REPEAT INTRO 
 
 
And you're drowning in the sunshine 
As it pours down from the sky, 
And there's something stirring in your heart 
Bright colours fill your eyes. 
As from here to the far horizon 
Your beauty does unfold, 
And oh, you look so lovely 
Dressed in green and gold.

To the homeless and the hungry 
May we always open doors, 
May the restless and the weary 
Find safe harbour on our shores. 
May she always be our dreamtime place 
Our spirit's glad release, 
May she always be our shelter 
May we always live in peace. 
 
 
REPEAT INTRO 
 
 
May we always live in peace.
