Sounds of Then (This is Australia)

Intro (x4): Bm   E D

Verse 1:
          Bm                       E               D
I think I hear the sounds of then,   and people talking
    Bm              E              D
The scenes recalled   by minute movement
    Bm              E                  D
And songs they fall   from the backing tape
     Bm               E              D
That certain texture,   that certain smell

Verse 2:
Bm                  E             D
   To lie in sweat,   on familiar sheets
Bm                   E            D
  In brick veneer on financed beds
Bm            E             D
   In a room  of silent hardiflex
     Bm               E              D
That certain texture,   that certain smell

Bridge:
E                     Bm
 That brings home the heavy days
Bm                D          E
  Brings home the night time swell

Chorus:
Bm         D     E      G
Out on the patio   we'd sit
Bm         D     E      G
And the humidity   we'd breathe
Bm             D         E           G
We'd watch the lightning  crack over cane fields
Bm          D      E            G
  Laugh and think,   this is Australia.

Instrumental (x2): Bm   E D

Verse 3:
Bm                      E     D
  The block is awkward,  it faces West
Bm                     E          D
  Long diagonals, and sloping too
Bm                     E                  D
  And in the distance,   through the heat haze
Bm              E              D
  In convoys of silence the cattle graze

Bridge:
E                            Bm
  That certain texture, that certain beat
Bm                 D          E
  Brings forth the night time heat, chi-cow

Chorus:
Bm         D     E      G
Out on the patio   we'd sit
Bm         D     E      G
And the humidity   we'd breathe
Bm             D         E            G
We'd watch the lightning   crack over cane fields
Asus4                A               Bm
Laugh and think that this is Australia.

   In a room    of silent hardiflex
     Bm               E              D
That certain texture,   that certain smell
