Intro:  Asus2    F#m7    E     Dsus2

Verse 1:
A                                            F#m7
I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes
                                               E
The years have made me old, but they made me wise
                                  D
Now the white man lives where our rivers run
A                          F#m7
For now better days have passed
                               E
We walk the streets of broken glass
                       D
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun

Bridge:
E                  F#m             Dsus2
Like dogs we were driven from this place
                               E
Such injustice time will not erase
           F#m                Bm7
All these changes cannot be undone

Verse 2:
A                                 F#m7
When you feel the anger inside of you
                                     E
Hold your head high, let your aim be true
                            D
Though your heart beats like a drum
A - F#m7 - E - D

Verse 3:
A                             F#m7
Once there was a time, my little one,
                                       E
Before the wagons - before the soldiers' guns
                                      D
When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies

Verse 4:
A                               F#m7
No white flag - no broken truce
                                        E
With few words one can speak the truth;
                                    D
I don't hear it, time won't heal it now

Bridge:
E                 F#m             Dsus2
With each new day that comes to pass
                                 E
Will the great spirit free us all at last?
          F#m                 Bm7
He said we were the chosen ones

Verse 5:
A                             F#m7
For all we had there's nothing left
                                E
We won't forgive - we can't forget
                               D
You know that your day will come
A - F#m7 - E - D

                                E
Will the great spirit free us all at last?
                F#m               Bm7
What has happened can never been undone

Verse 6:
A                               F#m7
When I was young - not yet a man
                                    E
The sun rose and set upon our land
             D
We were the chosen ones
