A d A fis A d A d

 A          d       A        fis
Won't you come on down the line
   d        e       A
Away from barren ground
      A     d       A    fis
The harlot and the autocrat
           d           e       A
Are they driving you further down
e              fis       h        fis
The season's rhymes, they anchor me
   d                h
Against the raging tide

 A        d       A          fis
Take you to the last wild place
   d           e            A
Skin and the stars they embrace
    A       d       A       fis
A caveman could a saint become
       d        e           A
In a hospital ward on the Somme
e        fis       h        fis
We can dive into distant amoebas
      d                       h   fis e fis e
Our wings could melt in the sun


CHORUS

I can shake
        fis   g
I can move
        fis           h         fis  e
But I can't live without your love
        fis   e
I can break
       fis   g
Over you
        fis           h         fis    d fis d fis   e
But I can't live without your love

A     d              A    fis
Our poet Henry Lawson he named them
d            e       A
The lay 'em out brigade
  A         d     A        fis   A d A d
Here they come there they go
A          d      A      fis
Oh great god of development
        d       e      A
Don't really know you yet
A           d          A         fis
Coastline hosed down washed away
     d            e              A
Economics, now there's nothing left
e            fis       h           fis
Tomorrow's child takes concrete footsteps
              d                     h       d A A e
And they'll drink champagne or be damned


          d         A          e
And the storm is breaking now
           d         A          e
Yeah the storm is breaking now
          d         A          e
Yes the storm is breaking now
