[Verse 1]
A                 G
When I was just a boy

Bm                                  A
Born and raised in the land of many waters

A                G
My folks held up the stead

Out there just the farm, out there just the wilds

To rest under the golden trumpet trees

E                      A               C#
To feel all the ground resting beneath our feet
[Chorus]

The day came for me

Bm                   A
An MP for my country held up in the head hotel

A                                   G
With a swift rebellion from all the crimes of the past

Bm                       A
Crimes of the colonists, crimes that last

F#m                    Bm
To watch all the blood money
