  G                                  C              G
I came from the dream-time, From the dusty red-soil plains
  Em                        C      D      G
I am the ancient heart, The keeper of the flame
                                 C           D          Em
I stood upon the rocky shores, I watched the tall ships come.
    G                                   C       D   G
For forty thousand years I've been, The first Australian


  G                                C            G
I came upon the prison ship, Bowed down by iron chains
  Em                                     C      D       G
I fought the land, endured the lash, And waited for the rains
                                         C       D      Em
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife, On a dry and barren run,
  G                             C      D   G
A convict, then a free man, I became Australian


        G                         C                 G
I'm the daughter of a digger, Who sought the mother lode.
    Em                          C        D     G 
The girl became a woman, On the long and dusty road.
                                 C       D          Em
I'm a child of the Depression, I saw the good times come,
      G                        C    D   G
I'm a bushie, I'm a battler, I am Australian.


G                      C G
We are one, but we are many,
G   Bm   Em
