I Am Australian

  C                                
I came from the dream-time, From 
  F              C
the dusty red-soil plains
                 Am         F      
I am the ancient heart, The keeper 
G      C
of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores, I 
F           G          Am   F
watched the tall ships come.
    C               Dm            
For forty thousand years I've 
       F       G    C
been, The first Australian

  C                                
I came upon the prison ship, Bowed 
F            C
down by iron chains
  Am                               
I fought the land, endured the 
      F      G       C
lash, And waited for the rains
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife, 
     F       G      Am  F
On a dry and barren run,
  C               Dm             
A convict, then a free man, I 
F        G   C
became Australian

        C                         
I'm the daughter of a digger, Who 
F                 C
sought the mother lode.
    Am                          F 
The girl became a woman, On the 
       G     C
long and dusty road.
                                 F 
I'm a child of the Depression, I 
      G          Am   F
saw the good times come,
      C             Dm          F
I'm a bushie, I'm a battler, I am
     G   C
 Australian.

[Chorus]

C  C   C               F C
We are one, but we are many,
C         Am      G             
And from all the lands on earth 
    C
we come.
                C                  
We'll share a  dream and sing with 
F   C
one voice,
 F G   Am  G       F       G   C
"I am, you are, we are Australian"


[Verse]

      C                       
I'm a teller of stories, I'm a 
 F         C
singer of songs,
     Am                      F    
I am Albert Namatjira, And I paint
     G       C
 the ghostly gums.
I'm Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned 
F     G      Am  F
Kelly on the run,
        C                  Dm     
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I
  F      G   C
 am Australian.

        C                        
I'm the hot wind from the desert, 
         F                 C
I'm the black soil of the plains,
        Am                         
I'm the mountains and the valleys, 
        F           G        C
I'm the drought and flooding rains.
I am the rock, I am the sky, The 
F      G         Am   F
rivers when they run,
    C               Dm            
The spirit of this great land, I 
F      G   C
am Australian.


[Chorus]

C  C   C               F C
We are one, but we are many,
C        Am      G               
And from all the lands on earth we 
  C
come.
               C                   
We'll share a  dream and sing with 
 F   C
one voice,
 F G   Am  G       F       G   C
"I am, you are, we are Australian"

 F G   Am  G       F       G   C
"I am, you are, we are Australian"
