[Intro]~
F C F C


[Verse 1]~
C
There's a message from the Outback,..

F             C
A murmur on the breeze;

    F
From restless dreams,..

G7             C
Awaken me this morning!

C
The message came from Uluru,..

   F               C
The spirit's ill at ease;

  F
In ancient voices,..

G7             C
Sounding out a warning!

F
"You've taken all you wanted",..

G                     C
I heard the anguished cry;

F
"The time has come to say "enough",..

G
Before the well runs dry"!

This is Australia Calling

This is Australia Calling

F                G


[Verse 2]~
C
Here comes the future,..

F            C
Time to fire up;

     F
Gotta find a way,..

  G7               C
To get this country rolling!

C
Doom and gloom is easy,..

F                    C
We've gotta shake it off!

F            G7           C
Gotta get up early in the morning!

F
The honeymoon is over,..

G                C
Can you hear the call;

F
We've gotta come out fighting,..

G
Our backs against the wall!
