[Verse 1]
N.C.
I'm just an Aussie balladeer
N.C.
I've been on the road for many a year
N.C.
I'll have a joke and I'll have a beer
N.C. E
But I'm happiest when I'm singing
[Verse 2]
E
I'll take you where the dingoes howl
E
Way beyond the mallee fowl
E
Beyond the plover and stubble quail
B E
Where the mulga sticks are ringing
[Chorus]
A
Where the shimmer slows you down
E
And you'll find the time to dream
B
To open up your heart
E
To the beauty of the land
[Solo]
A E B E
[Verse 3]
E
Park the truck at a shady spot
E
Find some gidgee and boil the pot
E
Take it easy, it's not so hot
B E
If you think of Mataranka
[Verse 4]
E
And take someone to hold you tight
E
The earth will keep you warm at night
E
You've never seen the stars so bright
B E
Follow the map with your finger
[Chorus]
A
Where the shimmer slows you down
E
And you'll find the time to dream
B
To open up your heart
E
To the beauty of the land
A
Where the shimmer slows you down
E
And you'll find the time to dream
B
To open up your heart
E
To the spirit of the land
B
To open up your heart
A Am E
To the spirit of the land
