Title: I Am Australian Artist: The Seekers Chords added by: H. de Ruyter de Wildt G C G I came from the dream-time, From the dusty red-soil plains Em C D G I am the ancient heart, The keeper of the flame C D Em I stood upon the rocky shores, I watched the tall ships come. G C D G For forty thousand years I've been, The first Australian G C G I came upon the prison ship, Bowed down by iron chains Em C D G I fought the land, endured the lash, And waited for the rains C D Em I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife, On a dry and barren run, G C D G A convict, then a free man, I became Australian G C G I'm the daughter of a digger, Who sought the mother lode. Em C D G The girl became a woman, On the long and dusty road. C D Em I'm a child of the Depression, I saw the good times come, G C D G I'm a bushie, I'm a battler, I am Australian. G C G We are one, but we are many, G Bm Em D G And from all the lands on earth we come. Bm Em C G We'll share a dream and sing with one voice, C G Em D G D G I am,you are, we are Australian G C G I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs, Em C D G I am Albert Namatjira, And I paint the ghostly gums. C D Em I'm Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run, G C D G I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian. G C G I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm the black soil of the plains, Em C D G I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm the drought and flooding rains. C D Em I am the rock, I am the sky, The rivers when they run, G C D G The spirit of this great land, I am Australian. G C G We are one, but we are many, Bm Em D G And from all the lands on earth we come. Bm Em C G We'll share a dream and sing with one voice, C G Em D G D G I am, you are, we are Australian C G Em D G D G I am, you are, we are Australian
