♫ Verse:

F#F#                   F#Maj7F#maj7
You can't think about the future still running from the past
F#7F#7              BB
Tall tales lie in history and flames burn through the memories
     F#F#              F#Maj7F#maj7
There's a country that is aching for a way to call its own
    F#7F#7               BB
You can feel the mansions shaking as the first real seed is sown

♫ Chorus:

  D#mD#m                    G# minorG#m
Now you can't talk about the future if you're running from the past
    BB          F#F#         C#C#
It’s a terror in Australia, jails and guns and failure


♫ Verse 2:

F#F#               F#Maj7F#maj7
Can you see the ships a coming, stately through the heads
  F#7F#7                  BB
And arched out over the white sails is the merchant’s flag of red
  F#F#                  F#Maj7F#maj7
Now Captain Cook spawns Captain Coke and beer flows over rum
   F#7F#7                BB
In a twinkling of an eye my friend they spent your dollars so very well


♫ Chorus 2:

  D#mD#m                 G# minorG#m
And those traditions they can't sell sit silent in the sun
   BB                F#F#        C#C#
Where ignorance and wealth combine to crush the fruit upon the vine
    BB          F#F# C#C#
It’s a terror in Australia

Where ignorance and wealth combine to crush the fruit upon the vine
  D#mD#m                  G# minorG#m
You can't think about the future if you're running from the past
