[Verse 1]
Em G
You look out your window at the cold grey dawn
D A
It's seven o'clock on a Monday morning
G A A G
Pour a cup of coffee, better make it a strong one
Em G D
Weather man on the radio says it's going to rain
A
And it's going to blow
Em G
It'll be all right, it'll be all right
D A
it'll be all right in the long run
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Em G
Australia marched out of Vietnam
D A
Out in the streets against Uncle Sam
G A A G
We won the fight, it was a long one
Em G
Uranium demo the other way
D A
One of my mates got dragged away
G A A G
As they slammed the door I heard her say
Em G D A
It'll be all right in the long run
[Verse 3]
Em G
Italian bloke who works with me
D A
We swap laughs and company
G A A G
And he slapped me on the back
Em G
He said "You're wrong, son
D A
This isn't the land I was told it would be
G A A G
It's not so equal and it's not so free"
Em G D A
But it'll be all right, it'll be all right, it'll be all right in the long run"
