[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][D]
[G]I

[Verse 1]
was born
below the Murray
[Am]where the south [G]wind blows colder
Reminds you in the winter [Am]that
you're [G]getting on
Where the mallee holds [C]on
to the [G]soil that's too sandy
It buried my [C]fences and
[D]gave me a [G]song[C][G]
Next thing I [C]knew,
I was blown [D]to the [G]brigalows
Grew white and [C]sorghum
like I'd [D]never [G]grown
But then flooding [C]rains
without [D]any warn[G]ing
Followed by [C]drought like I'd
[D]never [G]known[C][G]
Then I drove to [C]Sydney
on the back [D]of [G]an Emu
I found a new [C]brother but
[D]he did[G]n't know
The reason for liv[C]ing
so he [G]asked a wild turkey
It couldn't [C]tell us so what
[D]could [G]I d[C]o?[G]
Then further [C]north to the
[D]land [G]of the mango
Above the warm [C]beaches in June [G]and July
To a little green [C]cottage for [D]two to [G]tango
Yes, I'm gonna [C]die in
[D]Queensland[G][C][G]
Yes, I'm gonna [D]die in [C]Queensland
[G]Of a hooked [C]pine and [D]banga[G] low
Sprinkle my ashes where
the [C]yellow tail cop[G]ies
Of long clouds are [C]rolling [D]through
Yes, [G]I'm [C]gonna [G]die in [C]Queensland,[G]
you should [C]see [G]my point of view
I found my bush [D]home
[C]in the nest of an [G]eagle
where I fell in [D]love with [G]you[C][D][C][G][C]
[D][G][D][C][G][D][G]
[C][D][G][C][D]
[G]Now I am [C]here,
I can see [G]the green mountain
Way beyond [C]Beachmont,
O 'Reilly [G]by name
Carried a pi[C]ano on the back
[D]of a [G]donkey,
Mountains and mu[C]sic are one an[D]d the
[G]same.[C][D][G][C][D][G]
[C][D][G][C][D][G]
Some people [C]say it's no
[G]place for a woman
With bush ticks [C]and leeches,
no [D]peaches an[G]d
But it's out of [C]reach of the
mob [D]who [G]would plunder
She loves the [C]thunder and
[D]sharing [G]my [C]dreams[G]
Yes, I'm gonna [D]die [C]in Queensland
[G]Of a herb pin[C]e and ban[D] ga[G]low
Sprinkle my [D]ashes where
[C]the yellow tai[G]l cockies
and long clouds are [C]rolling [D]through
Yes, [C]I'm gonna [G]die [C]in [G]Queensland,
you should [C]see my [D]point [G]of view
I found my bush [D]home
[C]in the nest of an [G]eagle
where I fell in [D]love with [G]you[C]
[G]Oh -oh -oh -oh -o[C]h -oh[G]
Oh -oh -oh -oh [C]-o h -oh
