Red Earth Country


Words and music copyright Graham Seal July 30 2015

A song about the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

D                        G                 D
Living in the red earth country
G                        Bm                      A
Between the desert and the sea
D                    G                      D   G
Where the eaglehawk is fly-ing
            Bm                       A
High and wide and free
G                                             D   G
Where the eaglehawk is fly-ing
A                   G                              Em
Red earth country home to me
A                   G                              D
Red earth country home to me

Sailing the deep salt water
Listen to the sea birds cry
Where the old stories are dream-ing
Beneath the blue diamond sky
Where the old stories are dream-ing
Red earth country home to me
Red earth country home to me

Travelling the endless highway
That fades into the sun
Takes me back where you are wait-ing
Where the red earth makes us one
Takes me back where you are wait-ing
Red earth country home to me
Red earth country home to me

Living in the red earth country
Between the desert and the sea
Where the eaglehawk is fly-ing
Only place I want to be
Where the eaglehawk is fly-ing
Red earth country home to me
Red earth country home to me
Red earth country home to me.
