Maralinga (Rainy Land) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
This [Am]is a rainy land
This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high

[Verse 2]
But this is a rainy land
[Am]
My name is Yami Lester
[G]I hear I talk I touch but I a[Am]m blind
My story comes from darkness
[G]Listen to my story now
[Am]unwind[Esus4][Am]
This is a rainy land

[Verse 3]
First we heard two [Am]big bangs
[G]We thought it was the great
snake digging [Am]holes
Then we saw the big cloud
[G]Then the big black mist began to [Am]roll

[Verse 4]
This is a rainy land
[Am]
A strangeness on our skin
[G]A soreness in our eyes like wee[Am]ping fire
A pox upon our skin
[G]A boulder on our backs all
[Am]our lives[Esus4][Am]

[Verse 5]
This is a rainy land
[Am]This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high

[Verse 6]
But this is a rainy land
[Am]
My [G]name is Millipuddy
They captured me and roughly
washed me [Am]down
Then my child stopped kicking
[G]Then they took away my
[Am]man to town
They said do you speak English?
[Am]He said
I know that Jesus loves [Am]me I know
Because the bible tells [Am]me so
I know that Jesus loves me I know
Because the bible tells me so

[Verse 7]
This is [Am]a rainy land
This is a rainy land
No thunder in our sky
No trees stretching high
But this is a rainy land
