G Bb I came from the dream-time Gm Bb From the dusty red-soil plains G Bb I am the ancient heart Gm Bb The keeper of the flame G Bb I stood upon the rocky shores Gm Bb I watched the tall ships come G Bb For forty thousand years I've been G Bb The first Australian G Bb I came upon the prison ship G Bb Bound down by iron chains G Bb I fought the land, endured the lash G Bb And waited for the rains G Bb I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife G Bb On a dry and barren run G Bb A convict then a free man G Bb I became Australian G Bb I'm the daughter of a digger G Bb Who sought the mother lode G Bb The girl became a woman G Bb on the long and dusty road G Bb I'm a child of the depression G Bb I saw the good times come G Bb I'm a bushy I'm a battler G Bb {C} I am Australian.
