Storm Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][C][C]
[Em][Em][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]When will you learn that the more you take
Means the [C]less that you have
at the end of the day
[Em]Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace
[D]Freedom of the heart is what we crave
And we [G]sit by the river with a cup of tea
Watch the [C]movement of the tide
in the gentle breeze
[Em]Pelican drifting slowly looking for a feed
Like Mr [D]Percival the storm boy, you to me

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]Kookaburra calls just like he knows
And I [C]call right back "Yes, I'm home"
He's [Em]been with me, he's watched me grow
Through [D]those rainy days
and those rocky roads

[Chorus 1]
And now [G]everybody smiles in the setting sun
And [C]sighs with contentment
when the day is done
[Em]Hand in hand with the one you love
Feeling [D]blessed by the magic
of the moon above
And we [G]sing
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful [G]world
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful world

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][C][C]
[Em][Em][D][D]

[Verse 2]
It's [G]time for fire, smoke and leaves
The [C]only mosquito repellent we need
Pay re[Em]spect to the North,
the South, the West and the East
Pay re[D]spect to the spirit of this old country
[G]Freedom in the hearts of the young and brave
Who know [C]little of the journey
of the diggers who gave
Their [Em]lives to the service
and the government gains
So that [D]we could dance together
on this beautiful day

[Chorus 2]
And now [G]everybody smiles in the setting sun
And [C]sighs with contentment
when the day is done
[Em]Hand in hand with the one you love
Feeling [D]blessed by the magic
of the moon above
And we [G]sing
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful [G]world
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful world

[Interlude 2]
[G][G][C][C]
[Em][Em][D][D]

[Bridge 1]
When the [G]winter seeps into my bones
And I [C]hear the call from the North
I will [Em]go
Yeah I will [D]go

[Chorus 3]
And [G]everybody smiles in the setting sun
And [C]sighs with contentment
when the day is done
[Em]Hand in hand with the one you love
Feeling [D]blessed by the magic
of the moon above
And we [G]sing
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful [G]world
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful [G]world
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful [G]world
Sha-la-[C]la-la-la-la-la-[D]la
We're just [Em]living in this [D]beautiful [G]world
