no capo![intro]
G C Em D
[verse (1)]
G
When will you learn that the more that you take means
C
The less that you have at the end of the day
Em
Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace
D
Freedom of the heart is what we crave
G
And we sit by the river with a cup of tea
C
Watch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze
Em
Pelican drifting slowly looking for a feed
D
Like mr percival the storm boy, you to me
G
Kookaburra calls just like he knows
C
And i call right back "Yes i'm home"
Em
He's been with me, he's watched me grow
D
Through those rainy days and those rocky roads
[chorus]
G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand, with the one you love
D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
G
And we sing
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em
We're just living
D G
In this beautiful world
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em
We're just living
D G
In this beautiful world
[verse (2)]
G
It's time for fire, smoke and leaves
C
The only mosquito repellent we need
Em
Pay respect to the north the south the west and the east
D
Pay respect to the spirit of this whole country
G
Freedom in the hearts of the young and brave
C
Who know little of the journey of the diggers who gave
Em
Their lives to the service and the government gains
D
So that we could dance together on this beautiful day
[chorus]
G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand, with the one you love
D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
G
And we sing
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em
We're just living
D G
In this beautiful world
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em
We're just living
D G
In this beautiful world
[bridge]
G Em D
Ohh, ohh, aye
G
Now the winter seeps into my bones
C
And i hear the call from the north
Em D
Yeah i will go, yeah i will go
[chorus]
G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand, with the one you love
D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
G
And we sing
C D
Sha la la la la la la lah
Em
We're just living
