G(8)
Way out west where the rain don't fall, 
G(8)
got a job with the company drilling for oil
        Dsus2(8)                                     G(8)
Just to make some change, living and a`working on the land


G
I quit my job and I left my wife
G
Headed out west for a brand new life
        D                                       G
Just to get away. Living and a`working on the land


[Chorus]
       C  C/B(1)  Am(4)     G(8)
What a change it's been, from working that nine to five
       C  C/B(1) Am(4)
How strange it's been, 
D(8)
at last I get the feeling that I'm really alive


G
They give you a house made of fibro cement
G
You don't need no money 'Cause you don't pay no rent
          D                                        G
And it's Oh so cheap, Living and a`working on the land

G
La la La la La la
La la La la la La la La la
La la La la la La la La la la
Dsus2                         G
Living and a`working on the land             (repeat)

Em     C      D      Dâ?¦

(G Intro riff)

G
There's nothing much to do on a Saturday night
G
But get into some booze, or maybe a fight
             D                                          G
'Cause it's tough out here, living and a`working on the land

[Chorus]

G
Way out west where the rain don't fall
G
Got a job with a company drilling for oil
                Dsus2                                  G
And I'm never gonna leave, living and a`working on the land


G
La la La la la La la La la
G
La la La la la La la La la la
D                            G
 Living and a`working on the land    (repeat this section to fade)
