Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs 
are played in open tunings on the 
guitar. I have transcribed this,
along with a few more of his songs, 
in a more standard tuning to allow 
for easier learning.

[Intro]
G  D  G  D  G  D  G  Gsus4

[Verse]
G            C                  
The burning skies are never 
D   G           C               D
end-ing 'cross your red brush plains
Em           D       Em       D
and out where the din-go still 
       C      G       D
is king and e-ternity remains
G         C                  D   
There between the old and 
 G             C          D
an-cient there's an o-asis bright

Em       D       Em       D    
Your gen-tle chil-dren who have
     C    G           D
 gone are close to me tonight

[Chorus]
           G  C        D         
In your si-ng-ing land,   In your
    G  C        D           Em  
 si-ng-ing land,    Shine on, oh
D        C
 shine on over me

[Verse]
G         C                    D 
There's a feeling still and 
  G           C               D
ee-rie, there's a feeling strong
Em      D     Em  D         C 
The path huma-ni-ty has come 
       G           D
and the path that he has gone
G    C                  D  G   
Me I am, I am just pass-ing 
         C            D
three score years and ten
Em           D       Em      D 
And I'm just a stran-ger who 
     C   G             D
may ne-ver come this way again

[Chorus]
           G  C        D         
In your si-ng-ing land,   In your
    G  C        D           Em  
 si-ng-ing land,    Shine on, oh
D        C
 shine on over me

[Verse]
G          C                
Under the spell of caterpillar 
         D   G           C       
dream-ing a new life shapes its 
        D
form
Em   D       Em       D        
Along the ri-ver's na-ked banks
C         G             D
 that are straining for the storm
G             C                  
On the sacred rock in thunder 
D G            C               D
ocean the tree of man grows clear
Em       D           Em      D 
The wood-larks sing, the 
       C        G           
bro-lga dance and the dawn is 
  D
slipp-ing near

[Chorus]
           G  C        D         
In your si-ng-ing land,   In your
    G  C        D           Em  
 si-ng-ing land,    Shine on, oh
D        C
 shine on over me
           G  C        D         
In your si-ng-ing land,   In your
    G  C        D           Em  
 si-ng-ing land,    Shine on, oh
D        C
 shine on over me
