This one goes out to an old "mate and cobber", Anne and her friend
Robin, I enjoyed the concert.  And to all the other friends I made.

Sing Australia
John Denver      (klr)

[D] I come [Asus4] to [D] Australia as many [Asus4] people [D] do
To  see the [Asus4] old [D] Koala, hitch a ride on a [Bm] kanga [A]
roo
To [D] hear some [Asus4] body [D] call me mate, and call some [Asus4]
body [D] blue
To hear an [Asus4] abo [D] rigine play a [A] diggerid [D] do

Some of you [Asus4] came as [D] prisoners, two centu [Asus4] ries [D]
ago
Some of you [Asus4] came as [D] Kings and Queens, your blessings [Bm]
to be [A] stow
[D] Some of you [Asus4] stand all [D] swelled with pride
Some with [Asus4] shattered [D] wings
But all of us [Asus4] come with [D] open hearts to hear Aus [A]
tralia [D] sing

In the [G] desert, in the [D] city
In the [G] mountains and in the [D] sea
In the [G] stories and in the [D] people
I can  hear Aus [A] tralia [D] sing

[D] Waltzing [Asus4] Ma [D] tilda, the men of [Asus4] Galli [D] poli
Clancy [Asus4] of the [D] overflow and Crocodile [Bm] Dun [A] dee
The [D] myth of [Asus4] all [D] creation, the teaching  of [Asus4]
Baia [D] me
The  legends [Asus4] of the [D] dreamtime, for all [A] eter [D] nity

And in this [Asus4] cele [D] bration, a brief two [Asus4] hundred [D]
years
The cost to [Asus4] build a [D] nation, in blood and [Bm] sweat and
[A] tears
[D] And if we [Asus4] stand [D] divided, divided [Asus4] we will [D]
fall
But if we [Asus4] stand to [D] gether we shall [A] conquer [D] all

In the [G] desert, in the [D] city
In the [G] mountains and in the [D] sea
In the [G] stories and in the [D] people
I can  hear Aus [A] tralia [D] sing

Sing Aus [G] tralia, sing Aus [D] tralia,
Sing Aus [G] stralia, sing Aus [D] stralia
In the [G] sails on Sydney [D] Harbor
I can [D] hear [A] Australia [D] sing

Enjoy all.
