Chords

Composed by: John Williamson/Rob Fairbairn [Intro] F C F C [Verse 1]
C
There's a message from the Outback,

  F             C
A murmur on the breeze;

     F
From restless dreams,

G7             C
Awaken me this morning.

C
The message came from Uluru,

    F               C
The spirit's ill at ease;

   F
In ancient voices,

G7             C
Sounding out a warning.

F
"You've taken all you wanted",

G                     C
I heard the anguished cry;

F
"The time has come to say "enough",

G
Before the well runs dry"!
[Chorus]
C       F         G
This is Australia Calling

C       F         G
This is Australia Calling
F G [Verse 2]
C
Here comes the future,

F            C
Time to fire up;

      F
Gotta find a way,

   G7               C
To get this country rolling.

C
Doom and gloom is easy,

F                    C
We've gotta shake it off!

F            G7           C
Gotta get up early in the morning.

F
The honeymoon is over,

G                C
Can you hear the call;

F                     
We've gotta come out fighting,

G
Our backs against the wall!
[Chorus]
