Song Of The West

A7 D D A7 On the west side of Australia where the skies are very blue, D They'll extend the hand of friendship to the traveller coming through. G So if you feel you need a change in hospitality, A7 D Take yourself to West Australia where the Salmon gums grow free. D A7 You can travel on fair highways that extend to every town, D There's a peaceful kind of beauty there that seldom can be found. G Onward through the wheat lands where the hills just roll away, A7 D where the golden grain waves to the sun throughout the summer days. A7 D D A7 Travel southward through the timerland and see the sawdust fly, D Where the Karri and the Jarrah giants so poised towards the sky. G A little futher northward scenic roadways wend and wind, A7 D Through apple orchard country and apple pickin' time. D A7 As you leave the rolling wheat lands and we take you further north, D you're surrounded by expansion from our mighty mineral source. G On that long and rugged coast line all through Mother Nature's door A7 D Where the mighty Indian Oceans ever rolling through our shore. A7 D D A7 Through the harsh and coloured Kimb'lies, where our finiest horseman ride, D The roads are long and towns are few and the country's big and wide. G A Dreamtime kind of beauty there that's so hard to explain, A7 D when you taste that there reception you'll be going back again. D A7 On the west side of Australia where the skies are very blue, D They'll extend the hand of friendship and I know you'll find it true. G This has been a hurried picture but I'm sure it goes to prove, A7 D On the west side of Australia there's a great state on the move. A7 D D A7 D On the west side of Australia there's a great state on the move.
