Sandalwood trees are evergreen
C5       A5 
Cut them down
      C5      G5
Plant coffee beans
C5       B5 
Build no schools
    E5      G5
Construct no roads
A5           G5
Mark them as fools
    C5        B5
Let ignorance rule


            C5      B5       E5 G5 
Leave them stranded on their is__land
C5         G5     F5      G5 
Treat them to the tune of silence
C5         B5         E5        C5
Red is the cross that covers out shame


      A5       E5   G5  
Every Kingdom , every land
        C5                  E5 
Has its heart in the common man
A5    E5    G5               C5   E5   C5   E5
Silently the tide shifts the sand


C5      B5       E5    A5
Bury my heart on East-Timor
   C5     A5 
In coral sands
   C5       G5
On golden shores
C5         B5 
Buried are those
    E5         G5
Who lived their lives
A5          G5
No place to hide for
 C5        B5
Father and child
            C5      B5       E5 G5 
Leave them stranded on their is__land
C5         G5     F5      G5 
Treat them to the tune of silence
   C5        B5         E5        C5
We shake the hands that kill and forgive


      A5       E5   G5  
Every Kingdom , every land
        C5                  E5 
Has its heart in the common man

Silently the tide shifts the sand


C5      B5       E5    A5
Bury my heart on East-Timor
   C5     A5 
On barren graves
      C5            G5
Where flowers won't grow
C5         B5        E5   G5
Blooms our Red cross lovingly
     A5          G5
This nightingale deed
   C5        B5
So we can be free
 C5      B5       E5 G5 
Stranded on their is__land
C5      G5   F5     G5 
   This army of the silent
   C5        B5         E5       C5
We toast our own goodwill and forget


      A5       E5   G5  
Every Kingdom , every land
        C5                  E5 
Has its heart in the common man
A5    E5    G5               C5
Silently the tide shifts the sand
