I've written these chords as A, B, C#m, but this is only because this is how I often see 
them written down. They are the "open" chords A5/E, B5, C#5.

    A5/E   B5   C#5    G#m - play this as a barre chord straight down from C#5

e|------------
B|------------
G|---2-----4--
D|---2-----4--
A|---------2--
E|------------

This is the original key, but good luck if you can hit these notes in performance. I 
capo this up to 7 to make it singable. To get the sound of the original chords you really 
need to use the open chord method above, and it's really easy too!

Also, 8.5 bars of A5 is not advised unless you have a keyboard or lead guitar doing the 
proper intro.

[Verse 1]
              
Standing at th

   
e limit of an 

endless ocean
              
stranded like 

  
a runaway, los

t at sea
             
sitting on a r

ainy day down 

in the harbor
              
watching as th

  
e grey clouds 

shadow the bay
             
looking everyw

here 'cause I 

had to find yo

u
              
this is not th

  
e way that I r

emember it her

e
            
anyone will te

ll you it's a 

prisoner islan

d
              
hidden in the 


summer for a m

illion years

              
Great Southern

  
 Land, burned 

you black


              
So you look in

       
to the land an

d it will tell

 you a story
              
story 'bout a 


journey ended 

long ago
              
if you listen 

       
to the motion 

of the wind in

 the mountains
              
maybe you can 


hear them talk

ing like I do
              
". . they're g

       
onna betray yo

u, they're gon

na forget you
              
are you gonna 

         
let them take 

you over that 

way . ."


              
Great Southern

  
 Land, Great S

outhern Land
you walk alone, like a primitive man
and they make it work, with sticks and bones,
see their hungry eyes, it's a hungry home.



    I hear the

 sound, of the

 stranger's vo

ices,
I see their hungry eyes, their hungry eyes
              
Great Southern

 
 Land, Great S

outhern Land
they burned you black, black against the ground


              
Standing at th

   
e limit of an 

endless ocean
              
stranded like 

  
a runaway, los

in the harbor
