This Is Australia Calling

	  		  
Intro: F C F C 

verse 1 
C 
There's a message from the Outback, 
  F             C 
A murmur on the breeze; 
     F 
From restless dreams, 
G7             C 
Awaken me this morning. 

C 
The message came from Uluru, 
    F               C 
The spirit's ill at ease; 
   F 
In ancient voices, 
G7             C 
Sounding out a warning. 

F 
"You've taken all you wanted", 
G                     C 
I heard the anguished cry; 
F 
"The time has come to say "enough", 
G 
Before the well runs dry"! 

 
C       F         G

verse 2 
C 
Here comes the future, 
F            C 
Time to fire up; 
      F 
Gotta find a way, 
   G7               C 
To get this country rolling. 

C 
Doom and gloom is easy, 
F                    C 
We've gotta shake it off! 
F            G7           C 
Gotta get up early in the morning. 

F 
The honeymoon is over, 
G                C 
Can you hear the call; 
F                      
We've gotta come out fighting, 
G 
Our backs against the wall! 

 
C       F         G
