(G) 
  Way out west where the rain don't fall 
 
  Got a job with a company drilling for oil 
          (D7) 
  Just to make some change 
                             (G) 
  Living and working on the land 
    (G) 
  I quit my job and I left my wife 
 
  Headed out west for a brand new life 
          (D7) 
  Just to get away 
                             (G) 
  Living and working on the land 
 
[ Chorus ]
 
       (C)      (C/B)   (Am) 
  What a change it's been 
   (G) 
  Working from nine to five 
     (C)        (C/B)   (Am) 
  What a change it's been 
     (D7) 
  At last I got the feeling that Im really alive 
 
  They give you a house made out of fibro cement 
  You dont need no money cause you dont pay no rent 
  Yeah it's all so cheap 
  Living and working on the land 
 
  la la la la la la la 
  la la la la la la la 
  la la la la la la la 
  Living and working on the land 
 
  Nothing much to do on a Saturday night 
  Get into some booze and maybe a fight 
  Cause it's tough out here 
  Living and working on the land 
 
  Way out west where the rain dont fall 
  Got a job with a company drilling for oil 
  and I aint never gonna leave 
  Living and working on the land 
 
  la la la la la la la 
  la la la la la la la 
  la la la la la la la 
  Living and working on the land
