[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G It's funny how you wanna go Em When they say you're gonna stay at home Am We're a land of nomads Am D Born free to roam G I thought we were a country Em But it seems we're three or four Am Can't go back to my home town Am D G Em 'Cause it's against the law
[Verse 2]
G Yeah, it's funny how you wanna go Em More than you did before Am But I wanna go out west Am D I don't wanna leave the shore G I just wanna be Australian Em There's so much to explore Am Wouldn't mind seeing my children Am D G But that's against the law
[Chorus]
C G Am You can call it the great divide C G Am Not talking about a range C G Am Never in our nation's history Am D G Em Has living been so strange
[Verse 3]
G Suddenly, I wanna leave Em When I'm told I've gotta stay Am Many people so close to me Am D Are now so far away G They're all south of the border Em I'm not talking about Mexico Am I'm talking about Australia Am D G Where inland rivers flow
[Chorus]
C G Am You can call it the great divide C G Am Not talking about a range C G Am Never in our nation's history Am D G Em G Em Has living been so strange Ab Will it be all over Gb In 2021? Bbm A good number for a birthday Bbm Eb Ab A year for everyone Ab To celebrate the freedom Gb Of a land of sweeping plains Bbm Of rugged mountain ranges Bbm Eb Ab Of droughts and flooding rains Ab Of wallflowers in the springtime Gb Koalas in the trees Bbm And brolgas flying southward Bbm Eb Ab With the warming summer breeze
[Chorus]
Db Ab Bbm It's just a line on our back Db Ab Bbm Or a river running through Db Ab Bbm We should be just as free Bbm Eb Ab As the big red kangaroo Db Ab Bbm You can call it the great divide Db Ab Bbm Not talking about a range Db Ab Bbm Never in our nation's history Bbm Eb Ab Has living been so strange
