(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
