I Am Australian Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

I Ccame from the dream-time, From the Fdusty red-soil Cplains

I am the ancient Amheart, The Fkeeper Gof the Cflame

I stood upon the rocky shores, I Fwatched the Gtall ships Amcome.

For Cforty thousand years I've been, The Ffirst AustGraliCan

I Ccame upon the prison ship, Bowed Fdown by iron Cchains

I Amfought the land, endured the lash, And Fwaited Gfor the Crains

I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife, On a Fdry and Gbarren Amrun,

A Cconvict, then a free man, I beFcame AustGraliCan

I'm the Cdaughter of a digger, Who Fsought the mother Clode.

The Amgirl became a woman, On the Flong and Gdusty Croad.

I'm a child of the Depression, I Fsaw the Ggood times Amcome,

I'm a Cbushie, I'm a battler, I Fam AustGraliCan.

CWe Care Cone, but we are FmaCny,

CAnd Emfrom Amall the Glands on earth we Ccome.

We'll share Ema Amdream and sing with Fone Cvoice,

"FI Cam, Amyou Gare, we Care AustGraliCan"

I'm a Cteller of stories, I'm a Fsinger of Csongs,

I am AmAlbert Namatjira, And I Fpaint the Gghostly Cgums.

I'm Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned FKelly Gon the Amrun,

I'm the Cone who waltzed Matilda, I Fam AustGraliCan.

I'm the Chot wind from the desert, I'm the Fblack soil of the Cplains,

I'm the Ammountains and the valleys, I'm the Fdrought and Gflooding Crains.

I am the rock, I am the sky, The Frivers Gwhen they Amrun,

The Cspirit of this great land, I Fam AustGraliCan.

CWe Care Cone, but we are FmaCny,

CAnd Emfrom Amall the Glands on earth we Ccome.

We'll share Ema Amdream and sing with Fone Cvoice,

"FI Cam, Amyou Gare, we Care AustGraliCan"
