CONTINENTS -- iv. Australia
The Continents Cycle. Part 4 of 15 or 16. Stay tuned for more.
Nothing happened before these low quality recordings were made with a bad mic on a computer with no knowledge of how to make good recordings.

Story behind the song
The Continents Cycle. Part 4 of 15 or 16. Stay tuned for more. These are all very rough and sparse even by my standards because I'm trying to get them down as quick as possible.
Lyrics
Capo 2
[F-G-C-C x4]
I don't have a god damn care in the world
This land's got all the sunshine I need for my tan
And I'll ride the waves all the way
In to that beach of gorgeous white sand
[G-C-G-E7]
Well, I'll be, there's a wallaby
My girl would think it's cute
[C-G-F-Am]
I'd tell her in a letter if I had the time
[G-F-C-C]
But there's a chair at an opera that's soon to be mine
[F-G-C-C x4]
I don't have a god damn care in the world
This land's got all the sunshine I need for my tan
And I'll ride the waves all the way
In to that beach of gorgeous white sand
[G-C-G-E7]
If this is a penal colony,
Then, baby, they should put me in jail
[C-G-F-Am]
They've got better weather, and the girls look fine
[G-F-C-C]
There's kangaroos everywhere, even road signs
[Fmaj7-Am x3]
Sometimes I miss my girl
I wish she'd come traveling with me
I guess that I'll just hope that she'll wait
[Fmaj7-D7]
for me while I've got so many thigns to see
[G-C]
[G-E7]
[C-G-F-Am]
[G-F-C-C]
[F-G-C-C x8]
I don't have a god damn care in the world
This land's got all the sunshine I need for my tan
And I'll ride the waves all the way
In to that beach of gorgeous white sand
