[Intro]
D G D G A

[Verse]
D G
Sydney town 1885
D G
Sulphur air and blackened skies
D G A
And you live your life in the pocket of a richer man
D G
In the sheds and the docks and down the mines
D G
From the back blocks of Queensland to the Goutre Line
D G A
Thanks for the money and they kick the strikers down with guns

[Chorus]
D A G
We won't drop anchor till we reach Alta Mira sound
D A G
Heave away we're new Australia bound
D A G
Heave away we're new Australia bound
Asus4/G A D
For virgin ground

[Verse]
D G
In pucky little offices in Adelaide
D G
You count company profits but you're underpaid
D G A
There must be more to life than the promise of another day
D G
So collect the tools and pack your bags
D G
The sea is calling hoist a brave new flag
D G A
We'll make history in the forests of Paraguay

[Chorus]
D A G
We won't drop anchor till we reach Alta Mira sound
D A G
Heave away we're new Australia bound
D A G
Heave away we're new Australia bound
Asus A D
For virgin ground

[Verse]
G A D
Wide eyed romantics in a half baked dream
A D
Your motives aren't what they seem
G A D
You've got your feet caked in Australian mud
G A D
And you can't deny what's in your blood
G A
Under Paraguay skies and the nights so cold
G A G A
You can forsake your country and lose your soul

[Chorus]
