Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]I came from the dream- time
[F]From the dusty [C]red- soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores
I watched the [G]tall ships [Am]come[F]
[C]For forty thousand yea[Dm]rs I've been
[C]The[G] first Austra[C]lian

[Verse 2]
[C]
I came upon the prison ship
Bowed [F]down by iron [C]chains
I [Am]fought the land, endured the lash
And [F]waited [G]for the rain[C]s
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife
On a [F]dry and [G]barren [Am]run[F]
A [C]convict, then a [Dm]free man
I be[F]came Aus[G]tralian
[C]

[Verse 3]
I'm the daughter of a digger
[F]Who sought the mother [C]lode
The [Am]girl became a woman
On the [F]long and [G]dusty [C]road
I'm a child of the Depression
I [F]saw the [G]good times [Am]come
[F]I'm a bus[C]hie, I'm a bat[Dm]tler
I am Aus[G]trali[C]an

[Verse 4]
We are [C]one, but we are [F]many[C]
And from [Am]all t[G]he land
s on earth we [C]come
We'll share a dream and
sing with [F]one [C]voice
[F]"I [G]am, [Am]you a[G]re, we a[F]re Aus[G]tralia[C]n"

[Verse 5]
[C]
I'm a teller of stories
I'm a [F]singer of song[C]s
I am [Am]Albert Namatjira
And I [F]paint [G]the ghostly gum[C]s
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned [F]Kelly [G]on [Am]the run
[F]I'm the one[C] who waltzed Matild[Dm]a
I [F]am Aus[G]tralian
[C]

[Verse 6]
I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the [F]black soil of [C]the plains
I'm the [Am]mountains and the valleys
I'm the [F]drought and [G]flooding rain[C]s
I am the rock, I am the sky
The [F]rivers [G]when they [Am]run
[F]The spi[C]rit of this great lan[Dm]d
I [F]am Aus[G]trali[C]an

[Verse 7]
We are [C]one, but we are [F]many[C]
And from [Am]all t[G]he land
s on earth we [C]come
We'll share a dream and
sing with [F]one [C]voice
[F]"I [G]am, [Am]you a[G]re, we a[F]re Aus[G]tralia[C]n"

[Verse 8]
We are [C]one, but we are [F]many[C]
And from [Am]all t[G]he land
s on earth we [C]come
We'll share a dream and
sing with [F]one [C]voice
[F]"I [G]am, [Am]you a[G]re, we a[F]re Aus[G]tralia[C]n"

[Verse 9]
