Intro
G C Em D
verse 1
G C
When will you learn that the more that you take means the less that you have at the end of the day
Em
Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace
D
Freedom of the heart is what we crave
G
And we sit by the river with a cup of tea
C
Watch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze
Em
Pelican drifting slowly looking for a feed
C
Like Mr Percival the storm boy, you to me
G
Kookaburra calls just like he knows
C
And I call right back "Yes I'm home"
Em
He's been with me
He's watched me grow
D
Through those rainy days and those rocky roads
[Refrão] G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand
With the one you love
D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
G
And we sing
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em D G
We're just living in this beautiful world
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em D G
We're just living in this beautiful world
verse 2
G
It's time for fire
Smoke and leaves
C
The only mosquito repellent we need
Em
Pay respect to the North the South the West and the East
D
Pay respect to the spirit of this whole country
G
Freedom in the hearts of the young and brave
C
Who know little of the journey of the diggers who gave
Em
Their lives to the service and the government gains
D
So that we could dance together on this beautiful day
[Refrão] G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand
With the one you love
D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
G
And we sing
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah

We're just living in this beautiful world

Ohh
D
Aye
G
Now the winter seeps into my bones
C
And I hear the call from the North
Em
Yeah I will go
D
Yeah I will go
[Refrão] G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand
With the one you love
D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
G
And we sing...
