Eb
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Put a light in every country window
Bb Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
Ab Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
Bb Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land
[Bridge]
Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
[Verse]
Bb Eb
Miners tunnel to feed the fires at Wangi
Bb Eb
While others scrape the brown coal at Yallourn
Ab Eb
Turbine blades are yielding to the tumbling tons of Eildon
Bb Eb
And the Snowy will be finished before long
[Bridge]
Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Put a light in every country window
Bb Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
Ab Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
Bb Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land
[Bridge]
Bb Eb Ab Eb Bb
[Verse]
Bb Eb
Little farms and giant outback stations
Bb Eb
They all are mechanised today
Ab Eb
For milking cows and shearing sheep to do it fast and do it cheap
Bb Eb
Electrically is the modern way
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Put a light in every country window
Bb Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
Ab Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
Bb Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land
[Verse]
Bb Eb
The old Coolgardie and the red-hot woodstove
Bb Eb
They all have seen their day at last
Ab Eb
For now the ice and fire that is coming on the wire
Bb Eb
Has made them all relics of the past
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Put a light in every country window
Bb Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
Ab Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
Bb Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land
