[Intro]
Em C/G D/F# Em x 4
[Verse]
Em C/G I'm talking about Parachilna D/F# Em [tab]Em C/G Where you won't grow no roses D/F# Em But all the women try it Em C/G West of the Flinders Rangers D/F# Em She's watching all the strangers Em C/G Building rubbled shelters D/F# Em But making no impression Em C/G On a the land's so old and fragile D/F# Em Its bones are poking through C/G And its flesh is blowing D/F# Em All the way to Sydney Em C/G I'm talking about Parachilna D/F# Em Prairie Hotel Parachilna Em C/G Where dust like talcum powder D/F# Em Finds its way inside you Em C/G And settles on your mantle D/F# Em Makes muddy tears from crying Em C/G Looking at faded hoses D/F# Em Em Like snakes out in the garden C/G The beds are blowing D/F# Em All the way to Sydney
[Chorus]
G D/F# They're dancing and they're singing Em All around the bar C/G D There's nothing like a beer Em To wash it down G D/F# Batten down the hatches Em The wind is getting stronger C/G D/F# Em Looks as though we're staying in tonight
[Verse]
Em C/G I'm talking about Parachilna D/F# Em Prairie Hotel Parachilna Em C/G Where you won't grow no roses D/F# Em But all the women try it Em C/G I left with faded hoses D/F# Em Like snakes out in the garden Em C/G In the company of the King Brown D/F# Em Em Keep your shotgun loaded Em C/G Near the back door of the kitchen D/F# Em It'll come back for the water C/G Gonna blow that reptile D/F# Em All the way to Sydney
[Chorus]
G D/F# They're dancing and they're singing Em All around the bar C/G D/F# There's nothing like a beer Em To wash it down G D/F# Batten down the hatches Em The wind is getting stronger C/G D/F# Em Looks as though we're staying in tonight
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em C/G I'm talking about Parachilna D/F# Em Prairie Hotel Parachilna Em C/G Where the crows fly backwards D/F# Em I'm talking about the backwoods Em C/G West of the Flinders Ranges D/F# Em She's watching all the strangers Em C/G Building rubbled shelters D/F# Em But making no impression Em C/G On a the land's so old and fragile D/F# Em Its bones are poking through C/G And its flesh is blowing D/F# Em All the way to Sydney
[Chorus]
G D/F# They're dancing and they're singing Em All around the bar C/G D/F# There's nothing like a beer Em To wash it down G D/F# Batten down the hatches Em The wind is getting stronger C/G D/F# Em Looks as though we're staying in tonight C/G D/F# Em Yes it looks as though we're staying in tonight
