     A ~   G              D     A                        G
1.          Older than Kosciusko, Darwin down to Alice Springs,
       A
    dealers in the clearing-house, the settlements explode.
 
      G         D         A                         G
2. High up in the homelands, miners drive across the land,
          A
    encounter no resistance, when the people block the road
 
     G           D    A                       G
3. Older than Kosciusko, dry white seasons years ago
      A
    darkness over Charleville, the fires begin to glow
 
     G              D    A                    G
4. Older than Kosciusko, driven back to Alice Springs,
     A
    endless storm sand struggle marks the spirit of the age
 
      G       D         A                           G
5. High up in the homelands, celebration 'cross the land,
      A
    builds up like a cyclone, now the fires begin to rage.
 
   G                   A      Bb            D          C      ~ ~
No end to the hostility, now they wanna be somewhere else.
 G                    A    Bb                  D        C      ~ ~
No stranger to brutality, now they'd like to be someone else.
 
      A
    Call off the ultimatum, no, don't turn away !
 
    Call off the ultimatum after yesterday !
           G                        A       G     - A - G - A - G - A
    Call off the ultimatum, no, don't turn away !
