Verse 1:
(A)      D             G
When the troubles of a whole wide 
world
D                     A
come knocking on your door
            D             G
and there's problems of a different 
kind
            G         A
that you've never had before
            D                 G
when you're playin' against a gale 
force wind
       D               A
and it changes at half time
        A                  G
and you find your strength deserting
 you
       G         A
and an emptiness inside

Chorus:
             G      A         D
When there's people that will harm 
you
              D       G       D
though you've done to them no wrong
     D                  G
it's time to sing, it's time to sing
G               A
sing a powerful song

Repeat intro

Verse 2: (same chords)

When they want to ruin our province
just to turn it into gold,
when they think our greatest asset
can be mined, dug up and sold,
when the factories are all closing,
like they are in our home town,
and your friends are looking out for
 work
that's nowhere to be found,

Chorus 2: (same chords)

When the spirits they need a-risin'
to be happy, proud and strong,
it's time to sing, it's time to 
sing,
sing a powerful song,
