[Verse 1]
D                          Em7/D
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,

                                                          D
We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever roll.

                           Em7/D
Where Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,

                                           D
And a shower has changed the lustre of his land.
[Chorus]
                        Em7/D                    D
And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country,

                        Em7/D                        D
And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine.

                        Em7/D                           D
And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see.

                     Em7/D                            D
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.

[Verse 2]
D                         Em7/D
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose,

                                          D
Where does their beauty come from, heaven knows.

                              Em7/D
I could ask the wedgetail but he's away too high,

                                             D
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly.
[Chorus]
                        Em7/D                    D
And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country,

                        Em7/D                        D
And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine.

                        Em7/D                           D
And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see.

                     Em7/D                            D
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.

   D                          Em7/D
It cannot be described with a picture,

                               D
The mesmerising colours of the Olgas.

                       Em7/D
Or the grandeur of the rock,

          D
Uluru has power!
[Chorus]
                        Em7/D                    D
And it's raining on the rock, in a beautiful country,

                        Em7/D                        D
And I'm proud to travel this big land like an Aborigine.

                        Em7/D                           D
And it's raining on the rock, what an almighty sight to see.

                     Em7/D                            D
And I'm wishing on a postcard that you were here with me.
