[Intro]
A Em A Em A
D F#m G A
[Verse]
D F#m
Are you proud white Australians wherever you are?
D A
Beer in your hand and your elbow on the bar
D F#m
All you people from Darwin to the south
G A
With your blue faded jeans and a joint in your mouth
D F#m
Young sophisticates making the scene
G A
At the Lion Hotel in your rolled up jeans
D F#m
Something going on, we're all employed
G A
Last night another pickininny died
G A
D F#m G A
D F#m
In the dirt filled gutters on the cold concrete
G A
At the nightclub end of Hindley Street
D F#m
Sit dusky young ladies learning the rules
G A
From drunks and traps and the hard knocks school
D F#m
Milky brown eyes from drinking all day
G A
Till it's time at the Carrington Cabaret
D F#m
Down at the port a sick black mum
G A
Rings for a taxi but the taxi won't come
G A
G D A
Bm F#m
It's probably too painful for us to understand
G A D A
But two hundred years ago we overran their land
D A Bm F#m
Dreamtime's just a nightmare now, an alcoholic sleep
G A G A D A D A D A
Australia land of things to do have you got time to weep
D F#m G A
D F#m
Oh our great free land of fire and rain
G A
White man's wealth and black man's pain
D F#m
You've got to be white if you want to get in
G A
It's the black man's country but the white man's in
D F#m
Too utter distasteful for civilized man
G A
Hide them away in Arnhem Land
D F#m
Shake your head and say "That's that"
G A
As you kick away the bottles on Pinky flat
D A Em A D A
Bm F#m
It's probably too painful for us to understand
G A D A
But two hundred years ago we overran their land
Bm A Bm F#m
Dreamtime's just a nightmare now, an alcoholic sleep

Australia land of things to do have you got time to weep
