Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] F# F#maj7 F#7 B [Verse]
F#                                     F#maj7
You can't think about the future still running from the past

F#7                           B
Tall tales lie in history and flames burn through the memories

          F#                           F#maj7
There's a country that is aching for a way to call its own

        F#7                              B
You can feel the mansions shaking as the first real seed is sown
[Chorus]
    D#m                                       G#m
Now you can't talk about the future if you're running from the past

       B                    F#                 C#
It’s a terror in Australia, jails and guns and failure
[Verse 2]
F#                              F#maj7
Can you see the ships a coming, stately through the heads

    F#7                                    B
And arched out over the white sails is the merchant’s flag of red

    F#                                   F#maj7
Now Captain Cook spawns Captain Coke and beer flows over rum

     F#7                                B
In a twinkling of an eye my friend they spent your dollars so very well
[Chorus 2]
    D#m                                  G#m
And those traditions they can't sell sit silent in the sun

      B                               F#               C#
Where ignorance and wealth combine to crush the fruit upon the vine

       B                   F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia
[Interlude] F# F#maj7 F#7 B [Chorus 3]
    D#m                                  G#m
And those traditions they can't sell sit silent in the sun

      B                               F#               C#
Where ignorance and wealth combine to crush the fruit upon the vine

    D#m                                    G#m
You can't think about the future if you're running from the past

       B                    F#                 C#
It’s a terror in Australia, jails and guns and failure

       B                   F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia

       B                 F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia

       B                 F# C# B F#
It’s a terror in Australia
