written by Eric Bogle from the album "Warragul" Transcribed by Daniel Schaumann The song is played with a capo on the second fret, however the transcripton will be done without taking the capo into account. [Verse 1]

        G      D/F#      G
You can almost touch the ocean

           C              G
Shimmering in the distant haze,

       G           G/F#   Em
As you stand there on the mountain

        C                D
On this loveliest day of days.

      G        D/F#         G
Round half the world you've drifted

     C
Left no wild oats unsown,

    G        G/F#     Em
But now your view has shifted

        C            D         G
And you think you've just come home.

[VErse 2]

           G       D/F#    G
And you're drowning in the sunshine

     C                    G
As it pours down from the sky,

           G           G/F#    Em
And there's something stirring in your heart

       C                D
Bright colours fill your eyes.

        G           D/F#  G
As from here to the far horizon

   C
Your beauty does unfold,

    G        G/F#    Em
And oh, you look so lovely

 C         D         G
Dressed in green and gold.

[VErse 3]

       G       D/F#    G
To the homeless and the hungry

       C           G
May we always open doors,

        G         G/F#    Em
May the restless and the weary

    C                    D
Find safe harbour on our shores.

   G           D/F#   G
May she always be our dreamtime place

   C
Our spirit's glad release,

        G      G/F#   Em
May she always be our shelter

 C       D         G
May we always live in peace.

REPEAT INTRO May we always live in peace.
