  5  5   5   5 5   6    6  -5  5    
Trav-el-ing in a fried out kombie
 4 4  4  4    5     -4   -4  5  -4  4  
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
5  5  5    5     6  6   5   -5  6   -5  5 
I met a strange la-dy, she made me nervous
 5    5   6  6  -4  -4   5   -4   4    
She took me in and gave me breakfast
  4   4   4
And she said

5   5   5    5   5   6    6  -5  5 
Do you come from a land down under ?
  4    6  6   6   -4  -4  5   4
Where women glow and men plunder
  5    5   5     5    5    6    6   -5  5
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder ?
 5   6  6   6    -4 -4  -4   -4  -4 4 
You better run, you bet-ter take cover.



Other Verses

Buying bread from a man in brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language ?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
A said to the man, are you, trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty
 
And he said
Oh ! Do you come from the land of plenty 
Oh Yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
