Shelter chords by Eric Bogle

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

   G+G    D MajorD   G+G
I'm drowning in the sunshine

   C majorC          G+G
As it pours down from the skies

     G+G     D/F#D/F#     E minorEm
There's something stirring in my heart

    C majorC        D MajorD
Bright colours fill my eyes

    G+G      D MajorD   G+G
As from here to the far horizon

   C majorC       E minorEm
Your beauty does unfold

   G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
And oh you look so lovely

 C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
Dressed in green and gold

Verse 2:

     G+G   D MajorD     G+G
And I can almost touch the ocean

      C majorC       G+G
Shimmering in the distant haze

   G+G     D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
As I stand here on this mountain

    C majorC        D MajorD
On this loveliest day of days

   G+G    D MajorD     G+G
Round half the world I've drifted

    C majorC     E minorEm
Left no wild oats unsown

  G+G   D/F#D/F#   E minorEm
But now my view has shifted

   C majorC     D MajorD     G+G
And I think I've just come home

Verse 3:

    G+G    D MajorD    G+G
To the homeless and the hungry

    C majorC      G+G
May you always open doors

    G+G    D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
May the restless and the weary

     C majorC        D MajorD
Find safe harbour on your shores

    G+G   D MajorD   G+G
May you always be our Dreamtime place

  C majorC        E minorEm
Our spirit's glad release

    G+G   D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
May you always be our shelter

    C majorC   D MajorD    G+G
May we always live in peace
