  D          D           D             D
at the top end of market near castlereagh street
           D      D            D           D
there's a busker singing and playing the floop
         D      D        D               D 
with a piano accordian slung round his shoulders 
       D          D       D           D
and a hat at his feet to capture the coins 
       D         D           D        D
and a nod and a wink to the generous ones
          D                     G
and he's singing a song that's vaguely familiar 
     A                    G
the words from a poem by Lawson i think
      Bm                    G
but whoever it's from it's surely Australian
     D              D            D         D
the way the words flow and the spirit of place 
              D        D       D              D
and although i'm in a hurry i must stay  and listen to a
Chorus:
 D                 A      D              A
song from the homeland a song from the blood
   D              A         D         A
a song to remind me of the country i love
              G         D        D ----------- G
well there's beauty no doubt beneath foreign skies
       Em                A
but a song from the homeland 
 Em                 A                        D - go to Intro
songs from the homeland brings tears to my eyes
