Raining on the plains 	 - 	 John Williamson & Sara Storer

Galah they know that its that time 	  	 (SARA)
upside down on the power line
making a family on their minds
its raining on the plains again


can you hear it drummin on the old tin sheet 	 (JOHN)
no better sound to make you fall asleep
to dream of tonne crops and big fat sheep
its raining on the plains again

A 	  	       D           A
Havn't seen the warrambungles all day 	  	 (SARA)
A 	  	  	     D         A
theres a fair chance so the old folks say
A 	  	  	  	   D  -  A
reminds them of the storm back in 58
A              E      A
thunder on the plains again

A                               D       A
looks like the break we've been looking for 	 (JOHN)

the dogs are doing dounuts on the lawn
A 	  	  	     D         A

E 	  	  	  A

The last time the dog did that, 	  	  	 (SARA)
couldn't get to my ute for the fences and logs
couldn't sleep with the noise
from the mozzies and the frogs 
from the storm on the plains again

Galah they know that its that time 	  	 (JOHN)
upside down on the power line
making a family on their minds 	  	 (BOTH
its raining on the plains again 	  	  	 (JOHN)

CHORUS x 2 - BOTH
