Bm
We died all together
                  G
On an ocean of rolling hills

Bad weather
Bm
One valley took my daughter
                          G
When I rose up I saw her feet
       D               A
Pale soles and silver bells

Bm
And I see back in time
                          G
To losing my husband on a day of dust

And damage
Bm
I made him leave this place
                           G
To find us a safe home far away
              D                A    A7
With rocks of red and trees of grey

[Chorus]
Em              Em7/D
I know family ties
                 D
They just won't save us
          A
Not this time
Em                  Em7/D
And on Christmas Island
                D          A   A7
They just won't see us alive

[Verse 2]
Bm
Will they find a trail of ruin
                     G
Or will they always wonder and wonder
Bm
Who was responsible

On this earth
                G
Don't we have a place
           D   A
A right to be

[Chorus]
Em             Em7/D
I know family ties
                 D
They just won't save us
          A
Not this time
Em                  Em7/D
And on Christmas Island
                D            A    Bm
They just won't see us arrive
