Eric Bogle – Shelter chords

[Verse 1]
     G        D     GI'm drowning in the sunshine
      C                    GAs it pours down from the skies
         G         D/F#          EmThere's something stirring in my heart
        C               DBright colours fill my eyes
        G           D      GAs from here to the far horizon
     C             EmYour beauty does unfold
     G     D/F#    EmAnd oh you look so lovely
 C          D         GDressed in green and gold

[Verse 2]
          G      D         GAnd I can almost touch the ocean
           C              GShimmering in the distant haze
      G         D/F#    EmAs I stand here on this mountain
        C                DOn this loveliest day of days
      G        D          GRound half the world I've drifted
        C          EmLeft no wild oats unsown
    G      D/F#     EmBut now my view has shifted
      C          D         GAnd I think I've just come home

[Verse 3]
       G        D       GTo the homeless and the hungry
        C           GMay you always open doors
        G        D/F#    EmMay the restless and the weary
          C               DFind safe harbour on your shores
        G      D      GMay you always be our Dreamtime place
    C               EmOur spirit's glad release
        G      D/F#   EmMay you always be our shelter
       C      D       GMay we always live in peace
