     D                     G       D                G
I'll sing you the deserts,   where black men sailed,

D                   G       D                 G
waterhole to water,   where white men failed.

See the face of dreamers,    forgotten souls,

D                            G  D                    G
hear the voice of cattlemen     crackle in the coals.

Em
Maybe we will learn what's written in the sand,

  Em                   A              D      G
a thousand generations living off the land.
[Chorus]
     D                    G  D                         G
I'll sing you the waters,    runnin' through the town,

D               G        D                     G
wildflowers and wattles, when it settles down.

    Em
The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free,

   Em                               A        D    G
no way can I find an end to what it means to me.

The Outback.

I'll sing you the miners,    steel and coal,

opals and diamonds,    silver and gold.

Emeralds and sapphires,    I wish for you,

holes in the Outback,   down below.

        Em
There's lakes and there's rivers, caves to be found,

    Em                        A    D       G
and there's another landscape underground.
[Chorus]
     D                    G   D                         G

wildflowers and wattles, when it settles down.

    D               G         D            G
The backbone of the women who fight on and on,

    D              G           D               G
the healing of the sunset when all is said and done.

    Em
The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free,

Em                          A                D    G
no way can I find an end to what it means to me.
