Shelter chords by Eric Bogle

Verse 1:

     G        D     G
I'm drowning in the sunshine

      C                    G
As it pours down from the skies

         G         D/F#          Em
There's something stirring in my heart

        C               D
Bright colours fill my eyes

        G           D      G
As from here to the far horizon

     C             Em
Your beauty does unfold

     G     D/F#    Em
And oh you look so lovely

 C          D         G
Dressed in green and gold

Verse 2:

          G      D         G
And I can almost touch the ocean

           C              G
Shimmering in the distant haze

      G         D/F#    Em
As I stand here on this mountain

        C                D
On this loveliest day of days

      G        D          G
Round half the world I've drifted

        C          Em
Left no wild oats unsown

    G      D/F#     Em
But now my view has shifted

      C          D         G
And I think I've just come home

Verse 3:

       G        D       G
To the homeless and the hungry

        C           G
May you always open doors

        G        D/F#    Em
May the restless and the weary

          C               D
Find safe harbour on your shores

        G      D      G
May you always be our Dreamtime place

    C               Em
Our spirit's glad release

        G      D/F#   Em
May you always be our shelter

       C      D       G
May we always live in peace
