G C
Time and tide and wind and weather
G C G
Haven't made you change a lot
G C
You're keeping everything together
G C G
Skin as thick as ironbark
G C
Standing proud and tall and stately
G C G
Strong against the winds of strife
G C
But I've heard you're feeling lately
G C G
You've been cut right down by life
G C
Your skin might be as strong as iron
G C G
Heartwood might be hard as stone
G C
But one cut and the blood runs red and living
G C G
As any blood that ever flowed
Em Am
The cold hard steel of the axemans blow
Em Am
The winds of trouble and strife
Em Am
Won't bring you down for it's well you know
Em Am
You were born to survive
G C
Everything dead set against you
G C G
Roots sunk deep in stony ground
G C
When life takes more than it presents you
G C G
Sink those deep roots deeper down
G C
Don't let life keep you from living
G C G
Don't let your heart get petrified
G C
Keep that lifeblood red and flowing
G C G
Keep your iron soul alive
G C
Circles tell the tale of living
G C G
Hard successes hard defeats
G C
Each ring spins it's tale of giving
G C G
You're everything that this world needs
Em Am
The cold hard steel of the axemans blow
Em Am
The winds of trouble and strife
Em Am
Won't bring you down for it's well you know
Em Am
You were born to survive
