Verse:

Am             G                      Am       F G
Traveling in a fried-out combie
Am             G                      Am       F G
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
Am             G      Am           F G
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
Am             G                      Am       F G
She took me in and gave me breakfast           And she said,

Chorus:

C                   G              Am     F G
"Do you come from a land down under?
C           G              Am     F G
Where women glow and men plunder?
C                   G              Am     F G
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
C               G                Am     F G
You better run, you better take cover."  (Oh Yeah)

Am G (Stop) ; Am F G    x2


Verse:

Am             G                 Am       F G
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
Am             G                 Am       F G
He was six foot four and full of muscles
Am             G           Am              F G
I said, "Do you speak my language Brother?"
Am                  G                  Am        F G
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich  And he said, 

Chorus:

C                   G              Am     F G
"I come from a land down under
C                   G        Am     F G
Where beer does flow and men chunder (and women too)
C         G       Am     F G
Can't you hear the thunder?
C                   G              Am     F G
You better run, you better take cover."

Am G (Stop) ; Am F G    x2

Verse :
Am             G                 Am       F G
Lying in a den in Bombay
Am             G                 Am       F G
With a slack jaw, and not a lot to say
Am             G                        Am       F G
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Am             G                 Am       F G
Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said,

Chorus:

C                   G                 Am     F G
"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
C            G              Am     F G
Where women glow and men plunder?
C                   G                    Am     F G
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
C                   G              Am     F G
You better run, you better take cover."  (Cause we are)


Repeat Chorus:

C         G              Am     F G
Living in a land down under?
C           G              Am     F G
Where women glow and men plunder?
C                   G              Am     F G
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
C               G                Am     F G
You better run, you better take cover."
