Slim Dusty – Your Countrys Been Sold (Guitar)

                     A
You say you belong to Australia, my friend,

                                       D
And like me you'd die for this land to defend

                           A
But let us be honest, it's sad but is true

                                      D
Australia my friend doesn't belong to you

                               A
Our country's been sold by the powers that be

                                     D
To big, wealthy nations way over the sea

               A
We couldn't be taken with bayonets and lead

                              D
And so they decided to buy us instead

               G
And talking of wars and the blood that was spilled

                                             C
The widows, the crippled, the ones that were killed

                            G
And I often wonder if their ghosts can see

                                     C
What's happening now to their native country

            G
I wonder if ghosts of the fallen can see

                                        C
The crime and corruption and vast poverty

                          G
With a lost generation of youth on the dole

                                   C
Adrift on life's ocean without any goal

                    A
I once had a dream of our country so grand

                                   D
Where rivers outback irrigated the land

                             A
With dams and canals in that wasteland out there

                                D
And big inland cities with work everywhere

                              A
The profit from factory, and farming, and mine

                                D
Was used to develop a nation so fine

                                A
Then I woke from my dreaming to reality

                                            D
That the wealth of our nation goes over the sea

                      A
You say you belong to Australia, my friend,

                                       D
And like me you'd die for this land to defend

              A
But let us be honest, it's sad but is true

                                      D
Australia my friend doesn't belong to you

A                                     D
Australia my friend doesn't belong to you
