Xavier Rudd – Storm Boy chords

[Intro]
G  C  Em  D

[Verse 1]
G                                                         CWhen will you learn that the more that you take means the less that you have at the end of the day
EmStillness of the mind is so hard to embrace
DFreedom of the heart is what we crave
       GAnd we sit by the river with a cup of tea
          CWatch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze
EmPelican drifting slowly looking for a feed
        CLike Mr Percival the storm boy, you to me
GKookaburra calls just like he knows
      CAnd I call right back "Yes I'm home"
     EmHe's been with me

He's watched me grow
              DThrough those rainy days and those rocky roads


[Chorus]

        GAnd now everybody smiles in the setting sun
    CAnd sighs with contentment when the day is done
EmHand in hand

With the one you love
        DFeeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
        GAnd we sing
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world


[Verse 2]
     GIt's time for fire

Smoke and leaves
    CThe only mosquito repellent we need
    EmPay respect to the North the South the West and the East
     DPay respect to the spirit of this whole country
GFreedom in the hearts of the young and brave
         CWho know little of the journey of the diggers who gave
      EmTheir lives to the service and the government gains
        DSo that we could dance together on this beautiful day

[Chorus]
        GAnd now everybody smiles in the setting sun
    CAnd sighs with contentment when the day is done
EmHand in hand

With the one you love
        DFeeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
        GAnd we sing
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world


[Bridge]
GOhh
EmOhh
DAye
        GNow the winter seeps into my bones
      CAnd I hear the call from the North
            EmYeah I will go
            DYeah I will go

[Chorus]
        GAnd now everybody smiles in the setting sun
    CAnd sighs with contentment when the day is done
EmHand in hand

With the one you love
        DFeeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
        GAnd we sing...
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world
       C              DSha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         GWe're just living in this beautiful world
