B

I rode to my homeland

                                 A

and carried the memory over the valley below

                    B

and the heart of a nation



the war cry was blazing

                           A

and the loss of my brothers and sons

                        B

were all in the name of civilisation



E         G               E

the empty moon saw I was leaving

E    G	        E

with pride and hope in my heart

E             G                A

the mountains talk of faraway dreaming



B

so came the invasion

                                      A

across from a faraway place into the new world

               B	

with guns and new order



they gave us religion

                                     A

then took away all of our rights and forced

                        B

us to live behind their new border



G                       E

the four winds blow and bring a new vision

G                       E

where children laugh without fear

G                       E

the land will speak and people will listen



D                         A

but yesterday my life was fading

D                    A

with every reason to die

D		 

ten miles to the north

       A                      G  A  E			      

as I rode my red horse in the dying sun

    D                         A

and then when I saw the white soldiers

D                        A

one hundred or more in a line

D

kill for the land

A

saying their law will stand

Am                        G

what kind of God do they see? 

D                         A

What kind of god can this be?
