[Verse 1]
A I, I was F#m Em A I was shaken down in a toy town A He, he's out there F#m Em A You know it's Kennedy's shadow from White Cross to Michigan A ATMs in the air F#m Em A Oh yeah, machines, they are spinning out everywhere D The speaker is speaking, can you hear the sound?
The listener is listening as he hits the ground
F#m C#7 The medium or the message but there's no-one around
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E I couldn't believe F#m A Esus4 E I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton F#m D E G Were waiting for me

[Verse 2]
A We were dancing, we were dancing on the plain F#m Em A Were looking through the window, didn't see any buffalo there A We got our pipe dreams, they went up in smoke dreams F#m Em A Burn it clean in the climate control of your hypermart malls A Don't want to talk about Elvis Presley
Don't want to see his white shoes walkin'
F#m Em A Around and around and around and around over here D The press baron's acting up the mainframes are down
The newspapers crawling around on the ground
F#m C#7 The medium or the message still there's no-one around
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E I couldn't believe F#m A Esus4 E I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton F#m D E G Were waiting for me
[Bridge]
C Am Over the hills and mountains we go G F C G So far so far away C Am For the ring of the axe on the ironbark G F C G For the smell of the wallaby stew A D A F#m From the golden reefs to the sandstone cliffs E G D E Came the sheep pens of the mallee plain A D A F#m The wind blew the soil to the Orient E G D We'll be shouting to the skies again
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E I couldn't believe F#m A Esus4 E I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton F#m D E G Were waiting for me F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E I couldn't believe F#m A Esus4 E I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton F#m D E G Were living in me, raining down on me F#m D F#m E F#m D F#m E I couldn't believe F#m A Esus4 E I couldn't believe the stars of Warburton F#m D E G Were washing down on me
