Verse 1
(D major) Sleep, Australia, sleep
The (G major) night is on the (D major) creep
Shut out the noise all around (A major)
Sleep, (D major) Australia, sleep
And (G major) dream of counting (D major) sheep
Jumping in fields (A major) coloured brown (D major)
(G major) Who'll rock the cradle and (D major) cry?
(B minor) Who'll rock the cradle and (A major) cry?
Sleep, (D major) Australia, sleep
As off the (G major) cliff the kingdom (D major) s leap
Count them as they (A major) say good (D major) bye
Count down (G major) the little things
The (D major) insects and birds
(B minor) Count down the bigger things
The (E minor) flocks and the herds
(G major) Count down our rivers
Our (D major) pastures and trees
But there's (B minor) no need to hurry
Oh, sleep (E minor) now, don't worry
'Coz it's (G major) only a matter of de (A major) grees
Fog, (D major) Australia, fog
Just (G major) like the boiling (D major) frog
As we go we won't (A major) feel a thing
(D major)
Verse 2
(D major) Who'll (G major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(D major) (G major) rock the cradle and (D major) cry?
(B minor) Who'll rock the cradle and (A major) cry?
Sleep, (D major) my country, sleep
As off the (G major) cliff the kingdom (D major) s leap
Count them as they (A major) pass on by (D major)
Our (G major) children might know them
But their (D major) children will not
We won't (B minor) know 'til it's gone
All the (E minor) glory we've got
But (B minor) there are (G major) more wonders coming
All (D major) new kinds of shows
With (B minor) acid seas rising
To (D major) kiss coastal mountains
And (B minor) big cyclones pounding
And (D major) firestorms devouring
And we'll (E minor) lose track of counting
As the (F sharp minor) corpses keep mounting
But hey, (G major) that's just the way
this old world goes (A major)
Sleep, (D major) my country, sleep
As we (G major) sow so shall we (D major) reap
Who'll rock (A major) the cradle and cry?
(D major)
Sleep, Australia, Sleep
