      Simplified version of the awesome Xavier Rudd song 'Storm Boy' - for beginners. It sounds good if you just
play the chords, if you can finger pick it sounds closer to the original. Epic song best enjoyed around a camp
fire with friends.


Pretty much just G C Em D throughout the whole song (except the 'sha la la' parts of the chorus)...

[Intro]
G  C  Em  D

[Verse 1]
G                                                         C
When will you learn that the more that you take means the less that you have at the end of the day
Em
Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace
D
Freedom of the heart is what we crave
       G
And we sit by the river with a cup of tea
          C
Watch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze
Em
Pelican drifting slowly looking for a feed
        C
Like Mr Percival the storm boy, you to me
G
Kookaburra calls just like he knows
      C
And I call right back "Yes I'm home"
     Em
He's been with me

He's watched me grow
              D
Through those rainy days and those rocky roads


[Chorus]

        G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
    C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand

With the one you love
        D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
        G
And we sing
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world


[Verse 2]
     G
It's time for fire

Smoke and leaves
    C
The only mosquito repellent we need
    Em
Pay respect to the North the South the West and the East
     D
Pay respect to the spirit of this whole country
G
Freedom in the hearts of the young and brave
         C
Who know little of the journey of the diggers who gave
      Em
Their lives to the service and the government gains
        D
So that we could dance together on this beautiful day

[Chorus]
        G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
    C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand

With the one you love
        D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
        G
And we sing
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world


[Bridge]
G
Ohh
Em
Ohh
D
Aye
        G
Now the winter seeps into my bones
      C
And I hear the call from the North
            Em
Yeah I will go
            D
Yeah I will go

[Chorus]
        G
And now everybody smiles in the setting sun
    C
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Em
Hand in hand

With the one you love
        D
Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above
        G
And we sing...
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world
       C              D
Sha la la la la la la lah
           Em             D         G
We're just living in this beautiful world
