[Verse 1]
DPastel red to burgundy and Em7/Dspinifex to gold,
We've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever Droll.
Where Albert Namatjira has Em7/Dpainted all the scenes,
And a shower has changed the lustre of his Dland.
[Chorus]
And it's raining on the Em7/Drock, in a beautiful counDtry,
And I'm proud to travel Em7/Dthis big land like an AborigiDne.
And it's raining on the Em7/Drock, what an almighty sight to Dsee.
And I'm wishing on a Em7/Dpostcard that you were here with Dme.

[Verse 2]
DEverlasting daisies and a Em7/Dbeautiful desert rose,
Where does their beauty come from, heaven Dknows.
I could ask the wedgetail but Em7/Dhe's away too high,
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to Dfly.

And it's raining on the Em7/Drock, in a beautiful counDtry,
And I'm proud to travel Em7/Dthis big land like an AborigiDne.
