The sky is getting hotter,

there's a burning in the air

And the horses string behind me,
D 
they're looking at the ground

back in 1843

My heart was always in the bush

away from street and town

My eyes are on the horizon

My eyes are on the horizon

It's a long, long way from Glenman
Bm 
to the middle of this land
G 
From Ad elaide to Chambers Creek,
D 
A 
in the wind and dust and sand

We're heading for Van Diemen's Gulf,
Bm 
we'll make it there somehow

Verse 2
Em 
Waitin' through the long grass
D 
A 
And  I've stumbled on the stone
G 
I have my good companions
D 
A 
So I never, ever feel alone
Em 
I can hear the desert roaring
D 
With its dull and rumbling sound
A 
G 
D 
My eyes are on the horizon
G 
And I won't look down
D 
A 
My eyes are on the horizon
G 
D 
And I won't look down
Em 
Now my work is over,
D 
A 
there's a wire through the heart
G 
I was first to touch the centre,
D 
I was first to find the path
A 
Em 
I'm sailing back to England,
D 
shall I stand on solid ground?
A 
G 
D 
My eyes are on the horizon
G 
and I won't look down
D 
A 
My eyes are on the horizon
G 
D 
Em 
and I won't look down
