verse 1 
     G        D     G 
I'm drowning in the sunshine 
      C                    G 
As it pours down from the skies 
         G         D/F#          Em 
There's something stirring in my heart 
        C               D 
Bright colours fill my eyes 
        G           D      G 
As from here to the far horizon 
     C             Em 
Your beauty does unfold 
     G     D/F#    Em 
And oh you look so lovely 
 C          D         G 
Dressed in green and gold 

verse 2 
          G      D         G 
And I can almost touch the ocean 
           C              G 
Shimmering in the distant haze 
      G         D/F#    Em 
As I stand here on this mountain 
        C                D 
On this loveliest day of days 
      G        D          G 
Round half the world I've drifted 
        C          Em 
Left no wild oats unsown 
    G      D/F#     Em 
But now my view has shifted 
      C          D         G 
And I think I've just come home 

verse 3 
       G        D       G 
To the homeless and the hungry 
        C           G 
May you always open doors 
        G        D/F#    Em 
May the restless and the weary 
          C               D 
Find safe harbour on your shores 
        G      D      G 
May you always be our Dreamtime place 
    C               Em 
Our spirit's glad release 
        G      D/F#   Em 
May you always be our shelter 
       C      D       G 
May we always live in peace
