C                        F       C
The sun goes down on a cloudless sky
C                  G      C 
The tide is in the waters high
                  F       C
The fisherman are back in town
                       G        C
Tonight they'll either drink or drown

[Chorus]
C        F            C
Wait for rain to come down
C        F             C
Wait for rain all year round
C        G           F            C
It's the talk of the town, goin' 'round

[Verse 2]
C                      F    C
If you're ever in that Gulf country
C              G      C
Strangest land you've seen
                  F          C
Sun's so hot the ground's on fire
                  G     C
Thermometer won't go no higher

[Chorus]
C        F            C
Wait for rain to come down
C        F             C
Wait for rain all year round
C        G           F            C
It's the talk of the town, goin' 'round

[Verse 3]
C                   F            C
If you want to lose those lonely blues
C                    G       C
You best put on your dancing shoes
                 F             C
The ringers make for the water hole
                      G       C
Tonight the town will rock 'n roll

[Chorus]
C        F            C
Wait for rain to come down
C        F             C
Wait for rain all year round
C        G           F            C
It's the talk of the town, goin' 'round

[Verse 4]
C                      F       C
Now, Murray knows this ancient land
C                G       C
Like the back of his own hand
               F      C
See the brolga on the plain
                   G         C
Thousands dancing, bring the pain

[Chorus]
C        F           C
And that rain coming down
C         F                  C
Hear that rain what a mighty sound
C        G           F            C
It's the talk of the town, coming down

[Chorus]
C        F           C
And that rain coming down
C         F                  C
Hear that rain what a mighty sound
C        G           F            C
It's the talk of the town, coming down
