[Intro]

G
 
 
[Verse]

G
Way out west where the rain don't fall
G
Got a job with the company
G
Drilling for oil
        D
Just to make some change
                            G
Living and a-working on the land
 
 
[Verse 2]

G
The work is hard but the pay is low
G
And I tear me a rest if I only could
           D
Cause it's not like you
                            G
Living and a-working on the land
 
 
[Bridge]

       C           Am
What a change it's been
     G
From working that nine to five
    C            Am
How strange it's been
   D
At last I get the feeling that 

I'm really alive
 
 
[Verse]

     G
They give you a house made of fibro cement
G
You don't need no money
G
'Cause you don't pay no rent
         D
And it's oh, so cheap
                            G
Living and a-working on the land
 
 
[Chorus]

[Verse]

G
Nothing much to do on a 

Saturday night
G
But get into some booze
G
Or maybe a fight
            D
'Cause it's tough out here
                            G
Living and a-working on the land

At last I get the feeling that 

I'm really alive

G
Way out west where the rain don't fall
G
Got a job with a company drilling for oil
      D
And I ain't gonna leave
                            G
Living and a-working on the land
