[INTRO]

Bm          E     D/ / / /     / / / /      (x4)

[Verse 1]

          Bm                       E               DI think I hear the sounds of then,   and people talking
    Bm              E              DThe scenes recalled   by minute movement
    Bm              E                  DAnd songs they fall   from the backing tape
     Bm               E              DThat 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              DThat 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      GOut on the patio   we'd sit
Bm         D     E      GAnd the humidity   we'd breathe
Bm             D         E           GWe'd watch the lightning  crack over cane fields
Bm          D      E            G  Laugh and think,   this is Australia.

[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      GOut on the patio   we'd sit
Bm         D     E      GAnd the humidity   we'd breathe
Bm             D         E            GWe'd watch the lightning   crack over cane fields
