Eb

[Chorus]
 Bb                            Eb
Put a light in every country window
            Bb                           Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
     Ab                           Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
       Bb                             Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land

 Bb                            Eb
Miners tunnel to feed the fires at Wangi
            Bb                           Eb
While others scrape the brown coal at Yallourn
     Ab                           Eb
Turbine blades are yielding to the tumbling tons of Eildon
       Bb                             Eb
And the Snowy will be finished before long

[Bridge]

 Bb                            Eb
Put a light in every country window
            Bb                           Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
     Ab                           Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
       Bb                             Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land

[Verse]

 Bb                            Eb
Little farms and giant outback stations
      Bb           Eb
They all are mechanised today
     Ab                                  Eb
For milking cows and shearing sheep to do it fast and do it cheap
       Bb                  Eb
Electrically is the modern way

[Chorus]
 Bb                            Eb
Put a light in every country window
            Bb                           Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
     Ab                           Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
       Bb                             Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land

[Verse]
 Bb                            Eb
The old Coolgardie and the red-hot woodstove
     Bb                    Eb
They all have seen their day at last
     Ab                           Eb
For now the ice and fire that is coming on the wire
       Bb                  Eb
Has made them all relics of the past

[Chorus]
 Bb                            Eb
Put a light in every country window
            Bb                           Eb
High-speed pumps where now the windmills stand
     Ab                           Eb
Get in and lay the cable so that one day we’ll be able
       Bb                  Eb
To have electricity all over this wide land
