Intro:  Asus2 (x02200@1)  F#m7 (131141@2)  E (022100@1)   Dsus2 (xx0230@1)Verse 1:
A (x02220@1)                                          F#m7I've (131141@2)seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes
                                               EThe (022100@1)years have made me old, but they made me wise
                                  DNow (xx0232@1)the white man lives where our rivers run
A (x02220@1)                        F#m7 (131141@2)For now better days have passed
                               EWe (022100@1)walk the streets of broken glass
                       D (xx0232@1)
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun

Bridge:
E (022100@1)                F#m (244222@1)           Dsus2Like (xx0230@1)dogs we were driven from this place 
                               E (022100@1)
Such injustice time will not erase
           F#m (244222@1)              Bm7All (x20202@1)these changes cannot be undone

Verse 2:
A (x02220@1)                               F#m7When (131141@2)you feel the anger inside of you
                                     EHold (022100@1)your head high, let your aim be true
                            DThough (xx0232@1)your heart beats like a drum
A - F#m7 - E - D
My native son

Verse 3:
A (x02220@1)                           F#m7Once (131141@2)there was a time, my little one, 
                                       EBefore (022100@1)the wagons - before the soldiers' guns
                                      DWhen (xx0232@1)this land was ours as far as the eagle flies

Verse 4:
A (x02220@1)                             F#m7No (131141@2)white flag - no broken truce
                                        EWith (022100@1)few words one can speak the truth;
                                    DI (xx0232@1)don't hear it, time won't heal it now

Bridge:
E (022100@1)               F#m (244222@1)           Dsus2With (xx0230@1)each new day that comes to pass
                                 EWill (022100@1)the great spirit free us all at last?
          F#m (244222@1)               Bm7He (x20202@1)said we were the chosen ones

Verse 5:
A (x02220@1)                           F#m7For (131141@2)all we had there's nothing left
                                EWe (022100@1)won't forgive - we can't forget
                               DYou (xx0232@1)know that your day will come
A - F#m7 - E - D
My native son

A (x02220@1)                             F#m7When (131141@2)I was young - not yet a man
                                    EThe (022100@1)sun rose and set upon our land
