    Bm (x24432@1)            E (022100@1)       DThe (xx0232@1)scenes recalled by minute movement
    Bm (x24432@1)            E (022100@1)      DAnd (xx0232@1)songs they fall from the backing tape
     Bm (x24432@1)             E (022100@1)          DThat (xx0232@1)certain texture, that certain smell


To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell


E (022100@1)             BmBrings (x24432@1)home the heavy days
Bm (x24432@1)            D (xx0232@1)        EBrings (022100@1)home the night time swell

Bm (x24432@1)       D (xx0232@1)  E (022100@1)   GOut (320003@1)on the patio we'd sit
Bm (x24432@1)      D (xx0232@1)   E (022100@1)   GAnd (320003@1)the humidity we'd breathe
Bm (x24432@1)           D (xx0232@1)      E (022100@1)         GWe'd (320003@1)watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Bm (x24432@1)      D (xx0232@1)   E (022100@1)      G (320003@1)     BmLaugh (x24432@1)and think, this is Australia.


The block is awkward, it faces West
With long diagonals, sloping too
And in the distance, through the heat haze
In convoys of silence the cattle graze


That certain texture, that certain beat
Brings forth the night time heat


Bm (x24432@1)       D (xx0232@1)  E (022100@1)   GOut (320003@1)on the patio we'd sit

To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets
In brick veneer on financed beds
In a room of silent hardiflex
That certain texture, that certain smell


Brings forth the heavy days
Brings forth the night time swell


(x2):
Out on the patio we'd sit
And the humidity we'd breathe
We'd watch the lightning crack over cane fields
Laugh and think, this is Australia

This is Australia
This is Australia
This is Australia
Check it out
