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

And sing with one voice

I am, you are, we are Australian
