I by of the (G)sea.

Now, I’m a (G)out here, (C)west of Al ice Springs, it;

with a (D)wife

and a fam is i (G)ly.

For I And my is land home,

In the (Em7)eve ning, the dry wind blows

from the hills

and a cross the plains.

in a boat

on the sea a gain.

And I’m (Em7)hold ing that long tur tle spear,

and I feel I’m close now

to where it must be.
