C5                                               G5
Opportunities are available in all walks of life in Australia
              F5
So if you're young and if you're healthy
                                  C5 (Riff several times)
Why not get a boat and come to Australia?
    D5          G5
Australia, the chance of a lifetime
    D5          G5
Australia, you get what you work for
 C5
Nobody has to be any better than what they want to be
    D5     G5
Australia, no class distinction
    D5     G5
Australia, no drug addiction
 C5
Nobody's got a chip on their shoulder


       G#5                      C5 
We'll surf like they do in the U.S.A.
       A5                 G5
We'll fly down to Syndey for our holiday
     G#5            Eb5
On sunny Christmas Day
   Bb5   G#5    Eb5
Australia, Australia----------

No one hesitates at life or beats around the bush in Australia

So if you're young and if you're healthy

Why not get a boat and come to Australia?

Australia (sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

Australia (sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

Everyone walks around with a perpetual smile across their face

Australia (sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

Australia (sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la)

Everyone gets around and nobody can ever get you down


 G#5       G#5                  C5     C5 
We'll surf like they do in the U.S.A.
       A5                 G5
We'll fly down to Syndey for our holiday
     G#5            Eb5
On sunny Christmas Day
   Bb5   G#5    Eb5
