Intro:
Chord diagramD MajorD

 Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramE MajorE
From coast to coast by night and day
           Chord diagramA7A7               Chord diagramD MajorD
Hear the clicking of the wheels
      Chord diagramG+G
The humming of the diesel

On her ribbons of steel
 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Carrying the memories

Of a nation built by hand
                                 Chord diagramD MajorD
See the Indian Pacific span the land

 Chord diagramD MajorD                           Chord diagramE MajorE
She's the pride of all the railway men
        Chord diagramA7A7               Chord diagramD MajorD
Cross country where she flies
          Chord diagramG+G
From the blue Pacific waters

To where the mountains rise
     Chord diagramA augmentedA
By lakes and wide brown rivers

Through desert country dry
                               Chord diagramD MajorD
See the Indian Pacific passing by

         Chord diagramG+G
Oh the Indian Pacific
           Chord diagramD MajorD
She goes rolling down the track
       Chord diagramG+G
Five thousand miles to travel
 Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
Before she's there and back
 Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramE MajorE
Beside the line a drover waves
      Chord diagramA7A7               Chord diagramD MajorD
His battered old grey hat
     Chord diagramG+G
And kids are catching yabbies

Down by the river flat
       Chord diagramA augmentedA
And a woman hangs her washing

In the backyard near the line
                                Chord diagramD MajorD
As the Indian Pacific's rolling by

Fiddle Solo:
Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD

 Chord diagramD MajorD                         Chord diagramE MajorE
Hear the whistle blowing lonely
             Chord diagramA7A7            Chord diagramD MajorD
'Neath the Nullabor star light
 Chord diagramG+G
Saluting those who walked across

The track she rides tonight
 Chord diagramA augmentedA
Calling to the railway camp

And the fettlers on the line
                                 Chord diagramD MajorD
I'm the Indian Pacific right on time

 Chord diagramD MajorD                       Chord diagramE MajorE
From the silver of the Broken Hill
    Chord diagramA7A7             Chord diagramD MajorD
To old Kalgoorlie gold
 Chord diagramG+G
She mirrors all the colours

Of the land so hard and old
           Chord diagramA augmentedA
Then the western flowers are blooming

And the air is just like wine
                                 Chord diagramD MajorD
And the Indian Pacific's making time

         Chord diagramG+G
Oh the Indian Pacific
           Chord diagramD MajorD
She goes rolling down the track
        Chord diagramG+G
Five thousand miles to travel
 Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
Before she's there and back
           Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramE MajorE
From the waters of the western sea
         Chord diagramA7A7           Chord diagramD MajorD
To the eastern ocean sand
      Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA               Chord diagramD MajorD
The Indian Pacific spans the land
         Chord diagramG+G       Chord diagramA augmentedA               Chord diagramD MajorD
Oh The Indian Pacific spans the land
