[Verse 1]
[D]The Brooding Ghosts of
Aus[A]tralian night
[G]Gone from the bush and [D]town
My [E]spirit revives in the morning breeze
Died when the sun went [A]down
The [D]river is high and [A]the stream is strong
[B]Grass is green and tall
And I [A]faint would think that this world of ours
is a good world after [D]all
The light of passion in [A]dreamy eyes
and a [G]page of truth well read
[D]The glo[E]rious thrill in a heart grown cold
and a spirit I thought was [A]dead
A [D]song that goes to a [A]comrade's heart
and a [B]tear of pride let fall
And my [A]soul is strong
and the world to me
is a grand world after [D]all
Let our enemies go by
their [A]dull old tracks,
[G]theirs be the fault or shame
[D]The man[E] is bitter against the world,
has only himself to [A]blame
Let the [D]darkest side of the [A]past
be dark and [B]only the good recall
Or [A]I must believe that the world, dear,
Is a kind world after [D]all.
It well might be that I [A]saw too plain,
Or [G]maybe I was [D]blind.
I'll [E]keep my face to the dawning light,
Though the devil may stand behind.
[A]Though the dev[D]il may stand
be[A]hind my back,
Shall I [B]see his shadow fall?
I'll [A]read in the light of the morning stars,
A good world after [D]all.
Rest for your eyes, [A]oh weary girl,
You have [G]driven the worst [D]away.
The [E]ghost of the man I might have been
Has gone from my heart [A]today
We'll [D]live for life and the [A]best it brings
Till our twi[B]light shadows fall
My [A]heart grows brave
and the world, my girl,
Is a good world after [D]all
My [A]heart grows brave
and the world, my girl,
is a good world after all
[D][G][D]
