    Em
 Oh you, my lowland brother
C
 What did we really know of each other

 They had seen to it that we were kept apart
    Em
 Oh you, my lowland brother

 When did we lose each other
Em                                                  C

Em                               C
 Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts
                                                    Em
 And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs
                               C
 And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
Em
 Now we're sleeping in circles
        C
 On the stones of silverstream
Em
 Under nectar-weeping trees
         C
 Through blood-curdling screams

Chorus 2:
Am
 This call for the great divide

 It felt like an end to pride

 A country dead before the seizure

 A country denied - Rhodesia

                               C
 And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
Em
 Now we're sleeping in circles
        C
 On the stones of silverstream

 Under nectar-weeping trees

 Through blood-curdling screams
