[Verse 1]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
I was born below the Murray, where the South wind blows colder
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Reminds you in the Winter that you're getting on
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
Where the Mallee holds on to the soil that's too sandy,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
It buried my fences and gave me a song
[Interlude]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
Next thing I knew I was blown to the Brigalows
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Grew wheat and sorghum like I'd never grown,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
But then flooding rains without any warning,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Followed by drought like I'd never known
[Interlude]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
And I drove to Sydney on the back of an emu
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
I found a new brother, but he didn't know,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
The reason for living so he asked a wild turkey,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
It couldn't tell us so what could I do?
[Interlude]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
Then further North to the land of the mangoes,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Above the warm beaches in June and July,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
To a little green cottage, for two to Tango
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Yes, I'm gonna die in Queens - land
[Interlude]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
[Chorus]
A E A6sus A
Yes, I'm gonna die in Queens - land
A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Over Hoop pine and Banga - low.
A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
Sprinkle my ashes where the yellow-tailed Cockies
A A6sus Amaj7sus2
And long clouds are rolling through
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
Yes, I'll hang my hat in Queens - land,
A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
You should see my point of view.
A E A6sus A
I found my bush home in the nest of an eagle,
A A6sus A
Where I fell in love with you
[Interlude]
A Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
A Amaj7sus2 A
A Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
A E A
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A A6sus Amaj7sus2
[Verse 2]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
Now I am here I can see the green mountain,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Way beyond Beachma or Riley by name.
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
Carried a piano on the back of a donkey,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Mountains and music are one and the same.
[Interlude]
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
Some people say, it's no place for a woman,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
With bush tick and leeches, no peaches and cream,
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
But it's out of reach of the mob who would plunder.
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
She loves the thunder and sharing my dream.
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus
[Outro]
A E A6sus A
Yes, I'm gonna die in Queens - land
A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
Over Hoop pine and Banga - low.
A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
Sprinkle my ashes where the yellow-tailed Cockies
A A6sus Amaj7sus2
And long clouds are rolling through
A A6sus Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
Yes, I'll hang my hat in Queens - land,
A6sus Amaj7sus2 A
You should see my point of view.
A E A6sus A
I found my bush home in the nest of an eagle,
A A6sus A
Where I fell in love with you
A Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A Amaj7sus2 A6sus
A Amaj7sus2 A6sus A
