no tricky bits but enough to play this heartwarming classic.

002200 which seem to sound better when you play along with the record
Em G
You look out your window at the cold grey dawn
D A
It's seven o'clock on a Monday morning
G A Abarre Gbarre
Pour a cup of coffee, better make it a strong one
Em G D
Weather man on the radio says it's going to rain

Em G D A (the gda are played one beat each)
Em G D A
Australia marched out of Vietnam
Out on the streets against Uncle Sam
We won the fight, it was a long one
Uranium demo the other day
One of my mates got dragged away
As they slammed the door I heard her say
IWBARITLR etc
Italian bloke who works with me
We swap laughs and company
And he slapped me on the back
and said "You're wrong son"
This isn't the land I was told it wuld be
It's not so equal and it's not so free
IWBARITLR etc
>From the shadow of history a convict screams
The shearers curse, the people dream
We've taken some right turns, they've been the wrong ones
Troop ships leave and the headlines blaze
Australia remembers happeir days
And the faith lives on within the haze
IWBARITLR etc
So you sit in your camp and you stare at the fire
The doubts drop away as the hopes get higher
And you sing to yourself
IWBARITLR
And the sun gives ground to a long cold night
And you screw up your courage for another fight
But you know in your heart
IWBARITLR
And the sun streams in with power and might
And you look at your kids in a different light
And you know in your heart as you kiss them goodnight
IWBARITLR
