VERSE 1 
  
F               A7        Dm       F  F4 
I've been to cities that never close down 
F    Bb          Dm7/A    G7         Gm7/C 
from New York to Rio and old London Town 
          F       A7/E        Dm   G7/B    
but no matter how far or how wide I roam 
F/C          Gm7/C C7    F    Bb   Am   C7    
I still call Australia home 
Am                A7M G# Am7/G             Am6/F# 
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world 
  Dm7            G7            C     E 
Away from their family and friends 
Am                  Am/G#         Am7/G 
But as the world gets older and colder 
Am6/F#         Dm7/G           Gm7     C7 
It's good to know where your journey ends 
  
vERSE 2 
  
I'm always travelin', I love being free 

And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea 

But my heart lies waiting over the foam 

I still call Australia home 
  
VERSE 3 
  
But someday we'll all be together once more 

When all of the ships come back to the shore 

I realise something I've always known 

I still call Australia home 
Gm7/C    F        A7/E       Dm       G7/B        
But no matter how far or how wide I roam 
F/C         Gm7/C  C7    F    A7/E    Dm   Gm7/C 
I still call Australia home
