Sounds Of Then by Gangajang SOUNDS OF THEN (THIS IS AUSTRALIA) - Gangajang Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann INTRO: Bm E D 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 E|------------------------10------| B|----10--12------9---12----------| G|11------------------------------| D|--------------------------------| A|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------| (x4) Bm E D I think I hear the sounds of then, and people talking Bm E D The scenes recalled by minute movement Bm E D And songs they fall from the backing tape Bm E D That certain texture, that certain smell To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets In brick veneer on financed beds In a room of silent hardiflex That certain texture, that certain smell E Bm Brings home the heavy days Bm D E Brings home the night time swell Bm D E G Out on the patio we'd sit Bm D E G And the humidity we'd breathe Bm D E G We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields Bm D E G Bm Laugh and think, this is Australia. The block is awkward, it faces West With long diagonals, sloping too And in the distance, through the heat haze In convoys of silence the cattle graze That certain texture, that certain beat Brings forth the night time heat Bm D E G Out on the patio we'd sit Bm D E G And the humidity we'd breathe Bm D E G We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields Asus4 A Bm Laugh and think that this is Australia.
