Uncle Mana taught us like an elder
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
took asunder older brother
he said
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
this is powerful country
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
this is powerful country
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we felt like we were returning
E minorEm C majorC
to our land rebels
G+G D MajorD
and the shepherds in the sea
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
takers are taking what the leavers will leave
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
so grieve me the black prince cicada
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
such a loud voice for a tiny creature
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
teach me to let go of all of my pain
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
I do forgive, I don't forget these things
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
I do forgive, I don't forget these things
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
We burn the bluegum for a safe passageway
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
drink of the earth smoke of the dirt and my warpaint was red
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
ochre clay Hoka hey Red ochre clay
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Hoka hey Red ochre clay
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Our prayers igniting, cast out into the shire
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
and the song of our struggle came straight from the fire,
it goes:
C majorC D MajorD 
B minorBm
holy holy grandmother,
C majorC D MajorD B minorBm
we sing wash us clean of our pain and suffering
C majorC D MajorD B minorBm

E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
In my dreams a whirling aboriginal man
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
gave me your hat and your past in one hand he said,
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
you've come to be with rainbow serpent
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
red hands red land red worship
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
red hands red land red worship
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
just then I heard bush mama crying in the chasms
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
for the stolen generation and the children who haven't
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
come home come home stay home
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
come home come home stay home
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
my bullets are my words and my words are my weapons
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
so chain me to the pipeline for our rivers and mountains
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we sing today's a good day for my ego to die
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
today's a good day for my ego to die
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
spirit live on in my heart, in my body, my mind
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
then sister crow came with the murder that day
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
so we tattoed the bird nation onto our faces
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
she said we sing to let go of all of our pain
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we dance the story to remember when things changed
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD

We danced the ghost dance in two separate countries
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
To this old song so familiar to memory
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
the road will teach you how to love and let go
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
it can be lonely but it's the only thing that we've ever known
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
it can be lonely but it's the only thing that we've ever known
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Our mommas told us let go of jealousy
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
and for vagabonds and vagrants, that won't come so easy
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we've come from nothing, nothing
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we have come from nothing, nothing
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
teach me to love you in a different way
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
same cuts same guts same crazy
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
same cuts same guts same crazy
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
I traveled halfway across the country and back
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
only to find love undefined and I'm OK with that
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
cause I'm gonna be a guardian be a man among men
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
be a guardian be a man among men
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
or be a woman among women be a guardian
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
be my friend ooh be my friend
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
We're a part of something special
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we're a part of something special
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
we re a part of something special
E minorEm C majorC
It s a crack in time
G+G D MajorD
A augmentedA wrinkle
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Fallen from the nest, young eagle
E minorEm C majorC
I will pull my feathers out
G+G D MajorD
stay humble
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD
