Intro 1
(A major) (A major) (B major) (B major)
(A major) (A major) (B major) (B major)
Verse 1
Standing at the (A major) limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a (B major) runaway, lost at sea
City on a (A major) rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the (B major) grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking every (A major) where 'cause I had to find you
This is not the (B major) way that I remember it here
Anyone will (A major) tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the (B major) summer for a million years

Chorus 1
Great Southern Land, (C sharp minor) (E major) (F sharp minor) (C sharp minor)
burned you black (C sharp minor) (E major) (F sharp minor) (C sharp minor)
Verse 2
So you look into the (A major) land
and it will tell you you a story
Story 'bout a (B major) journey ended long ago
Listen to the (A major) motion of the wind
in the mountains
Maybe you can (B major) hear them talking like I do
They're gonna betray (A major) you,
they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them (B major) take you over
that way
Chorus 2
Great Southern Land, (C sharp minor) (E major)
Great (F sharp minor) Southern Land (C sharp minor)
You walk alone (C sharp minor) (E major)
like a (F sharp minor) primitive man (C sharp minor)
And they make it work, (C sharp minor) (E major)
with (F sharp minor) sticks and bones (C sharp minor)
See their hungry eyes, (C sharp minor) (E major)
its a (F sharp minor) hungry home (C sharp minor)
Bridge 1
(G sharp minor) I hear the sound
of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes,
their hungry eyes
Chorus 3
Great Southern Land, (C sharp minor) (E major)
Great (F sharp minor) Southern Land (C sharp minor)
They burned you black, (C sharp minor) (E major)
black a (F sharp minor) gainst the ground (C sharp minor)
Verse 3
Standing at the (A major) limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a (B major) runaway, lost at sea
City on a (A major) rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the (B major) grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking every (A major) where, I had to find you
This is not the (B major) way that I remember it here
Anyone will (A major) tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the (B major) summer for a million years
Chorus 4
Great Southern Land, (C sharp minor) (E major)
in the (F sharp minor) sleep ing sun (C sharp minor)
You walk alone (C sharp minor) (E major)
with the (F sharp minor) ghost of time (C sharp minor)
Where they burned you black, (C sharp minor) (E major)
black a (F sharp minor) gainst the ground (C sharp minor)
And they make it work, (C sharp minor) (E major)
with (F sharp minor) rocks and sand (C sharp minor)
Bridge 2
(G sharp minor) I hear the sound
of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes,
their hungry eyes
Chorus 5
Great Southern Land, (C sharp minor) (E major)
Great (F sharp minor) Southern Land (C sharp minor)
You walk alone (C sharp minor) (E major)
like a (F sharp minor) primitive man (C sharp minor)
You walk alone (C sharp minor) (E major)
with the (F sharp minor) ghost of time (C sharp minor)
And they burned you black, (C sharp minor) (E major)
Yeah, they (F sharp minor) burned you black (C sharp minor)
Great Southern Land (C sharp minor) (E major) (F sharp minor) (C sharp minor)
Great Southern Land (C sharp minor) (E major) (F sharp minor) (C sharp minor)
Great Southern Land (C sharp minor) (E major) (F sharp minor) (C sharp minor)
Great Southern Land (C sharp minor) (E major) (F sharp minor) (C sharp minor)
