               A 
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean 
               B 
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea 
         A 
City on a rainy day down in the harbour 
               B 
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay 
            A 
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you 
               B 
This is not the way that I remember it here 
           A 
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island 
             B 
Hidden in the summer for a million years 
 
 
              C#m 
Great southern land, burned you black 
 
 
Do you look into the land, it will tell you a story 
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago 
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains 
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do 
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you 
Are you gonna let them take you over that way? 
 
 
              C#m 
Great southern land, great southern land 
You walk alone like a primitive man 
In the naked world with sticks and bones 
See their hungry eyes, it's a hungry home 
 
 
Abm 
I hear the sound of the stranger's voices 
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes 
 
 
               C#m 
Great southern land, great southern land 
They burned you black, black against the ground 
 
 
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean 
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea 
City on a rainy day down in the harbour 
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay 
Looking everywhere - I had to find you 
This is not the way that I remember it here 
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island 
Hidden in the summer for a million years 
 
 
              C#m 
Great southern land, in the sleeping sun 
You walk alone with the ghost of time 
They burned you black, black against the ground 
In the naked world with rocks and sand 
 
 
Abm 
I hear the sound of the strangers' voices 
See their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes 
              C#m 
Great southern land, great southern land 
You walk alone like a primitive man 
You walk alone with the ghost of time 
And they burned you black 
Yeah, they burned you black 
Great southern land, great southern land 
Great southern land, great southern land 
Great southern land
