This is Australia Calling
Composed by: John Williamson/Rob Fairbairn
[Intro]
F C F C
[Verse 1]
C
There's a message from the Outback,
F C
A murmur on the breeze;
F
From restless dreams,
G7 C
Awaken me this morning.
C
The message came from Uluru,
F C
The spirit's ill at ease;
F
In ancient voices,
G7 C
Sounding out a warning.
F
"You've taken all you wanted",
G C
I heard the anguished cry;
F
"The time has come to say "enough",
G
Before the well runs dry"!
[Chorus]
C F G
This is Australia Calling
C F G
This is Australia Calling
F G
[Verse 2]
C
Here comes the future,
F C
Time to fire up;
F
Gotta find a way,
G7 C
To get this country rolling.
C
Doom and gloom is easy,
F C
We've gotta shake it off!
F G7 C
Gotta get up early in the morning.
F
The honeymoon is over,
G C
Can you hear the call;
F
We've gotta come out fighting,
G
Our backs against the wall!
[Chorus]
C F G
This is Australia Calling
