[Intro]
F# F#maj7 F#7 B
[Verse]
F# F#maj7
You can't think about the future still running from the past
F#7 B
Tall tales lie in history and flames burn through the memories
F# F#maj7
There's a country that is aching for a way to call its own
F#7 B
You can feel the mansions shaking as the first real seed is sown
[Chorus]
D#m G#m
Now you can't talk about the future if you're running from the past
B F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia, jails and guns and failure
[Verse 2]
F# F#maj7
Can you see the ships a coming, stately through the heads
F#7 B
And arched out over the white sails is the merchant’s flag of red
F# F#maj7
Now Captain Cook spawns Captain Coke and beer flows over rum
F#7 B
In a twinkling of an eye my friend they spent your dollars so very well
[Chorus 2]
D#m G#m
And those traditions they can't sell sit silent in the sun
B F# C#
Where ignorance and wealth combine to crush the fruit upon the vine
B F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia
[Interlude]
F# F#maj7 F#7 B
[Chorus 3]
D#m G#m
And those traditions they can't sell sit silent in the sun
B F# C#
Where ignorance and wealth combine to crush the fruit upon the vine
D#m G#m
You can't think about the future if you're running from the past
B F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia, jails and guns and failure
B F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia
B F# C#
It’s a terror in Australia
B F# C# B F#
It’s a terror in Australia
