Southern Sky

Eb       Cm            Ab
I wanna live, I wanna die,
           Eb                  Bb
under the light of the great Southern Sky
        Cm                         Ab
I wanna run, straight through the night,
              Eb                     Bb                     Ab
chasing the stars with a heart open wide – under a great Southern Sky

[Verse]
           Cm                           Ab
There’s a song you can hear it playing in a country town
      Eb                                 Bb
the anthem of the young and free that’s what I’m talking bout.
      Cm
Like flooding rains and overflows,
Ab                             Eb
desert plains and red dugouts walk abouts that take me home,
    Bb
a place that everybody knows

[Pre Chorus]
Cm                           Ab
Ooohhh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oohh oh
        Eb             Bb
In the state I’m in is on my mind
Cm                           Ab
Ooohhh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oohh oh
        Eb              Bb
In the place I live I’m so alive
Ab
Tonight

[Chorus]
         Cm           Ab             Eb                         Bb
I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern Sky
           Cm        Ab              Eb
High on a plain, in thunder and rain
Bb       Cm           Ab             Eb                           Bb
I wanna live, I wanna die, under the light of the great Southern Sky

[Verse 2]
          Cm                            Ab
There’s a spirit, can you feel it going in this country wide?
           Eb                        Bb
From the burning sun in Arnhem land across the great divide
Cm                          Ab
Children singing out aloud: we are one and we are proud,
      Eb                             Bb
the future’s starting here and now, sing it all together now

Ooohhh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oohh oh

In the place I live I’m so alive
Ab
Tonight

I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern Sky
           Cm        Ab              Eb
High on a plain, in thunder and rain
Bb       Cm           Ab             Eb                           Bb
I wanna live, I wanna die, under the light of the great Southern Sky
