Great Southern Land Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][F][G][G]
[F][F][G][G]

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

[Chorus 1]
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C][Dm][Am]
burned you [Am]black[C][Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
So you look into the [F]land
and it will tell you you a story
Story 'bout a [G]journey ended long ago
Listen to the [F]motion of the wind
in the mountains
Maybe you can [G]hear them talking like I do
They're gonna be[F]tray you,
they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them [G]take you over
that way

[Chorus 2]
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C]
Great [Dm]Southern [Am]Land
You walk a[Am]lone[C]
like a [Dm]primitive [Am]man
And they make it [Am]work,[C]
with [Dm]sticks and [Am]bones
See their hungry [Am]eyes,[C]
its a [Dm]hungry [Am]home

[Bridge 1]
[Em]I hear the sound
of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes,
their hungry eyes

[Chorus 3]
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C]
Great [Dm]Southern [Am]Land
They burned you [Am]black,[C]
black a[Dm]gainst the [Am]ground

[Verse 3]
Standing at the [F]limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a [G]runaway, lost at sea
City on a [F]rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the [G]grey clouds shadow the bay
Looking every[F]where, I had to find you
This is not the [G]way that I remember it here
Anyone will [F]tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the [G]summer for a million years

[Chorus 4]
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C]
in the [Dm]sleeping [Am]sun
You walk a[Am]lone[C]
with the [Dm]ghost of [Am]time
Where they burned you [Am]black,[C]
black a[Dm]gainst the [Am]ground
And they make it [Am]work,[C]
with [Dm]rocks and [Am]sand

[Bridge 2]
[Em]I hear the sound
of the stranger's voices
I see their hungry eyes,
their hungry eyes

[Chorus 5]
Great Southern [Am]Land,[C]
Great [Dm]Southern [Am]Land
You walk a[Am]lone[C]
like a [Dm]primitive [Am]man
You walk a[Am]lone[C]
with the [Dm]ghost of [Am]time
And they burned you [Am]black,[C]
Yeah, they [Dm]burned you [Am]black
Great Southern [Am]Land[C][Dm][Am]
Great Southern [Am]Land[C][Dm][Am]
Great Southern [Am]Land[C][Dm][Am]
Great Southern [Am]Land[C][Dm][Am]
[Repeat and fade]
