Chords

[Verse 1] N.C. I'm just an Aussie balladeer N.C. I've been on the road for many a year N.C. I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer
N.C.                      E
But I'm happiest when I'm singing
[Verse 2]
     E
I'll take you where the dingoes howl

E
Way beyond the mallee fowl

  E
Beyond the plover and stubble quail

          B                E
Where the mulga sticks are ringing
[Chorus]
                            A
Where the shimmer slows you down

                            E
And you'll find the time to dream

                B
To open up your heart

                     E
To the beauty of the land
[Solo] A E B E [Verse 3]
E
Park the truck at a shady spot

E
Find some gidgee and boil the pot

E
Take it easy, it's not so hot

       B            E
If you think of Mataranka
[Verse 4]
    E
And take someone to hold you tight

    E
The earth will keep you warm at night

       E
You've never seen the stars so bright

B                        E
Follow the map with your finger
[Chorus]
                            A
Where the shimmer slows you down

                            E
And you'll find the time to dream

                B
To open up your heart

                     E
To the beauty of the land

                            A
Where the shimmer slows you down

                            E
And you'll find the time to dream

                B
To open up your heart

                     E
To the spirit of the land

                B
To open up your heart

                     A     Am    E
To the spirit of the land
