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


       G#                      C 
We'll surf like they do in the U.S.A.
       Am                 G
We'll fly down to Syndey for our holiday
     G#            Eb
On sunny Christmas Day
   Bb   G#    Eb
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#       G#m                  C     C/B 
We'll surf like they do in the U.S.A.
       Am                 G
We'll fly down to Syndey for our holiday
     G#            Eb
On sunny Christmas Day
   Bb   G#    Eb
Australia, Australia----------
