Standard Tuning

Capo 2 Fret


(Verse 1)

                                     
Traveling in a fried-out combie
                                     
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
                                       
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
                                  
She took me in and gave me breakfast

And she said,


(Chorus)

                                         
Do you come from a land down under? 
                                
Where women glow and men plunder? 
                                        
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder? 
                                      
You better run, you better take cover.


(Verse 2)

                                 
Buying bread from a man in brussels
                                      
He was six foot four and full of muscles
                                        
I said, do you speak-a my language? 
                                            
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

And he said,


(Chorus)

                                         
Do you come from a land down under? 
                                
Where women glow and men plunder? 
                                        
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder? 
                                      
You better run, you better take cover.


(Verse 3)

                             
Lying in a den in bombay
                                       
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
                                           
I said to the man, are you trying to tempt me
                                     
Because I come from the land of plenty? 

And he said,


(Chorus)

                                         
Do you come from a land down under?     (oh yeah yeah)
                                
Where women glow and men plunder? 
                                        
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder? 
                                      
You better run, you better take cover.
