D             G
Sydney town 1885
D                G
Sulphur air and blackened skies
        D                     G   
And you live your life in the 
                 A
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   
Thanks for the money and they kick
                 A
 the strikers down with guns

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

D             G
In pucky little offices in Adelaide
D                G
You count company profits but you're
 underpaid
        D                     G   
There must be more to life than 
                 A
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   
We'll make history in the forests 
          A
of Paraguay

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
A               D          
  You've got to run from your 
             A                 
troubles, no need to stand your 
       G
ground
D                A                 G
Heave away we're new Australia bound
