F#m   G     A
There is enough
F#m   G     A
There is enough for everyone
F#m   G     A
There is enough
F#m   G     A
There is enough, in Redfern as there is in Alice
F#m   G     A
There is enough, this is not the Buckingham palace
F#m   G     A
There is enough
G
This is the crown land


F#m   G     A    
               This is the brown land
F#m   G     A   G
               This is not our land


F#m   G     A

  G          D       G     D
  Some folks live in water tanks
  G          D       Bm        G      D 
  Some folks live in red brick flats


F#m   G     A
There is enough, the law is carved in granite
F#m   G     A
There is enough, it's been shaped by wind and rain
F#m   G     A
There is enough, white law could be wrong
F#m   G     A
There is enough, black law must be strong


F#m   G     A

  G   D      G         D
  Warakurna, cars will roll
  G           D      Bm    C
  Don't drink by the waterhole
  G           D      G         D
  Court fines on the shopfront wall
  G         D       Bm        G    D 
  Beat the grog and save your soul


            G    D           G     Bm
Some people laugh, some never learn
                                   G G  D
This land must change or land must burn
            G    D             G     Bm
Some people sleep, some people yearn
                                    G G  D
This land must change or land must burn


           G   D            G    D
Diesel and dust  is what we breathe
               G   D                G   D
This land don't change and we don't   leave
            G   D           G    Bm
Some people live, some never die
                                       G   D
This land don't change, this land must lie
            G    D         G   Bm
Some people leave, always return
                                   G    D
This land must change or land must burn


  G   D      G      D
  Warakurna, camels roam
  G         D        Bm       C
  Fires are warm and dogs are cold
  G         D    G       D
  Not since Lassiter was here
  G           D     Bm        G    D 
  Black man's got a lot to fear


            G    D            G     Bm
Some people laugh, some never learn
                                   G    D
This land must change or land must burn
            G    D             G     Bm
Some people sleep, some people yearn
                                    G    Bm
This land must change or land must burn
                                    G   D
This land must change or land must burn
