[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus2][Gsus2][D][Dsus2][D][Gsus2]

[Verse 1]
I turned [D]west
in search of something I'd [Gsus2]never seen before,
[D]The kind of vision Splendid
[Dsus2]Ban jo sa[D]w.[Gsus2]
With [Asus4]a fresh roll in my came[A]ra and
an [Bm]eye for things [G]unique,[Gsus2]
[D]I left my mob[A]ile pho[Bm]ne at hom[Asus4]e and went[D]
[G]outback [A]for a week.
[D][Dsus2][D]

[Verse 2]
[Dsus2]
[D]I stood beneath the Tre[Dsus2]e of Knowledge,
[D]let my ima[Gsus2]gination run[G],[Gsus2]
[D]Way back to the Great Shearer's
[G]Strike [Gsus2]of '91.[G]
And as I [Asus4]quietly contemp[A]lated
all that [Bm]tragic [G]history,
[Gsus2]A tour bu[D]s full of k[A]id s fro[Bm]m the city[A]
[D]pulled [G]up in front [A]of me.
[D]

[Verse 3]
And its [Gsus2]base ball[G] caps on backwards
like [Gsus2]they wear[D] 'em in LA,[A]
Coca Cola,
Nike shoes and [D]Oakley shades.
Here [Gsus2]in the middle[G] of the Heartl[D]and, I feel
I'm caught [G]between
[Asus4]Beverley Hill[D]s 9[G]0210 and the Grea[A]t Austral[D]i
[A]an Dream.

[Interlude 1]
[D][Gsus2][G][Gsus2][D][Gsus2][G]
Thought [Gsus2]I'd try

[Verse 4]
[D]a new direction down the Barcoo[G],
[Gsus2]headed so[G]uth,
[Gsus2]To the town [D]built round the Black
Stump and [G]Jacky [Gsus2]Howe.
[G]But it was bac[A]k on cou[Asus4]rse next mor[A]ning
to [Bm]the Stockman's Hall of [G]Fame,
Where [D]I traced [A]the steps of the pi[Bm]oneers
[A]and ran[D] in [G]to those kid[A]s again.
[D]

[Verse 5]
With [G]baseball caps on backwards
like [Gsus2]they wear[D] 'em in LA,[A]
Coca Cola, Nike shoes and [D]Oakley shades.
In the [G]midst of myth and legend,
[Gsus2]again I'm[D] caught betwee[G]n
[D]Beverley Hills [Gsus2]90210 and [G]the[A] Great

[Interlude 2]
Australian Dream.
[Bm][G][Bm][G][Gsus2][G]

[Verse 6]
I set [Em]out to find the spirit,
the [G]inspiration for John Flynn,
[D]Walked the streets [A]where [Bm]Fysh [A]and
[Asus4]McGuiness gave [G]the Kangaroo its [A]wings.
But each [Bm]time I thought I'd found it,
[G]what makes us who we are,
That [D]bus pulls [A]up be[Bm]side [A]me and [D]the kid[G]s get out,
[Gsus2]yeah the [G]kids get out.[A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 7]
And its [G]baseball caps on backwards
like they [D]wear 'em [A]in LA,
Coca [Asus4]Cola,
[A]Nike shoes and [D]Oakley shades.
So I [G]figure there's an answer [D]some
where in [G]between,
[D]Beverley [G]Hills 90210 and [Asus4]the Great
Aus[A]tralian Dream.
[D][G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Lookin' for an [Gsus2]answer,
[D]To [Gsus2]the Great Australian dream.[D][G]
[Gsus2][G][Gsus2][D][Gsus2][D][G][Gsus2]
[G]There's gotta be an ans[Gsus2]wer,
To [D]the [G]Gre[Gsus2]at Australian D[G]rea[Gsus2]m.[D]
