Sing Australia

John Denver (klr)

[D] I come [Asus4] to [D] Australia as many [Asus4] people [D] do

To see the [Asus4] old [D] Koala, hitch a ride on a [Bm] kanga [A]

roo

To [D] hear some [Asus4] body [D] call me mate, and call some [Asus4]

body [D] blue

To hear an [Asus4] abo [D] rigine play a [A] diggerid [D] do

Some of you [Asus4] came as [D] prisoners, two centu [Asus4] ries [D]

ago

Some of you [Asus4] came as [D] Kings and Queens, your blessings [Bm]

to be [A] stow

[D] Some of you [Asus4] stand all [D] swelled with pride

Some with [Asus4] shattered [D] wings

But all of us [Asus4] come with [D] open hearts to hear Aus [A]

tralia [D] sing

In the [G] desert, in the [D] city

In the [G] mountains and in the [D] sea

In the [G] stories and in the [D] people

I can hear Aus [A] tralia [D] sing

[D] Waltzing [Asus4] Ma [D] tilda, the men of [Asus4] Galli [D] poli

Clancy [Asus4] of the [D] overflow and Crocodile [Bm] Dun [A] dee

The [D] myth of [Asus4] all [D] creation, the teaching of [Asus4]

Baia [D] me

The legends [Asus4] of the [D] dreamtime, for all [A] eter [D] nity

And in this [Asus4] cele [D] bration, a brief two [Asus4] hundred [D]

years

The cost to [Asus4] build a [D] nation, in blood and [Bm] sweat and

[A] tears

[D] And if we [Asus4] stand [D] divided, divided [Asus4] we will [D]

fall

But if we [Asus4] stand to [D] gether we shall [A] conquer [D] all

In the [G] desert, in the [D] city

In the [G] mountains and in the [D] sea

In the [G] stories and in the [D] people

I can hear Aus [A] tralia [D] sing

Sing Aus [G] tralia, sing Aus [D] tralia,

Sing Aus [G] stralia, sing Aus [D] stralia

In the [G] sails on Sydney [D] Harbor

I can [D] hear [A] Australia [D] sing

Enjoy all.
