Wash It All Away

	  		      Em      C         G     D 
We're a part of something special 
       Em      C         G     D 
We're a part of something special 
        Em      C         G     D 
We're a part of something special 
       Em       C 
It's a crack in time 
  G      D 
A wrinkle 
       Em       C           G    D 
Fallen from the nest, young eagle 
       Em               C 
I will pull my feathers out 
     G    D 
Stay humble 
     Em    C   G    D 
Stay humble 
     Em    C   G    D 
Stay humble 
     Em    C   G    D 
Stay humble 
    Em     C   G    D 
Stay humble 

 Em        C                 G    D 
Uncle Mana taught us like an elder 
Em    C            G     D 
Took asunder older brother 

He said 
 Em     C        G      D 
This is powerful country 
 Em     C        G      D 
This is powerful country 
   Em        C       G      D 
We felt like we were returning 
       Em    C 
To our land rebels 
        G                D 
And the shepherds in the sea 
Em         C               G            D 
Takers are taking what the leavers will leave 
   Em     C            G      D 
So grieve me the black prince cicada 
Em      C                       G       D 
Such a loud voice for a tiny creature 
Em      C               G       D 
Teach me to let go of all of my pain 
Em      C                       G       D 
I do forgive, I don't forget these things 
Em      C                       G       D 
 I do forgive, I don't forget these things 
Em      C                       G       D 
We burn the bluegum for a safe passageway 
        Em              C                               G       D 
Drink of the earth smoke of the dirt and my warpaint was red 
Em              C               G       D 
Ochre clay Hoka hey Red ochre clay 
Em      C                       G       D 
Hoka hey             Red ochre clay 
Em      C                       G       D 
 Our prayers igniting, cast out into the shire 
                Em      C                       G       D 
 And the song of our struggle came straight from the fire 
It goes 

C       D       Bm 
Holy holy grandmother 
                C       D       Bm 
 We sing wash us clean of our pain and suffering 
C               D                       Bm 
 Give us strength for our new beginnings 
                C 
 In my deepest grace I sing 
Em      C                       G       D 
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G  D 
Ooh lift 'em up ooh lift 'em up 

( Em  C  G  D ) 

Em      C                       G       D 
In my dreams a you were aboriginal man 
Em      C                       G       D 
Gave me your hat and your past in one hand and said 
Em      C                       G       D 
You've come to be with rainbow serpent 
Em      C                       G       D 
Red hands red land red worship 
Em      C                       G       D 
 Red hands red land red worship 
Em      C                               G       D 
Just then I heard bush mama crying in the chasms 
Em      C                               G       D 
For the stolen generation and the children who haven't 
Em      C                       G       D 
 Come home come home stay home 
Em      C                       G       D 
Come home come home stay home 
Em      C                       G       D 
My bullets are my words and my words are my weapons 
Em      C                       G       D 
 So chain me to the pipeline for our rivers and mountains 
Em      C                       G       D 
We sing today's a good day for my ego to die 
Em      C                       G       D 
 Today's a good day for my ego to die 
        Em      C                               G       D 
Spirit live on in my heart, in my body, my mind 
Em      C                               G       D 
Then sister crow came with the murder that day 
Em      C                       G       D 
So we tattoed the bird nation onto our faces 
Em      C                       G       D 
She said we sing to let go of all of our pain 
Em      C                       G       D 
We dance the story to remember when things changed 
Em      C                       G       D 
        Remember when things changed 
Em      C                       G       D 
        Remember when things changed 

C       D       Bm 
Holy holy grandmother 
                C       D       Bm 
We sing wash us clean of our pain and suffering 
        C       D       Bm 
Give us strength for our new beginnings 
        C 
In my deepest thanks I sing 
Em      C                       G       D 
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
 It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
 It'll wash away, it will wash away lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
        Ooh lift 'em up        ohh ohhh 
Em      C                       G       D 
        Ooh lift 'em up 
Em      C                       G       D 
        Ooh lift 'em up        ohh ohhh 
Em      C                       G       D 
        Ooh lift 'em up 

( Em  C  G  D ) 

Em      C                       G       D 
We danced the ghost dance in two separate countries 
Em      C                       G       D 
To this old song so familiar to memory 
Em      C                       G       D 
The road will teach you how to love and let go 
        Em      C                               G       D 
It can be lonely but it's the only thing that we've ever known 
        Em      C                               G       D 
It can be lonely but it's the only thing that we've ever known 
Em      C                       G       D 
Our mommas told us let go of jealousy 
Em      C                       G       D 
And for vagabonds and vagrants, that won't come so easy 
Em      C                       G       D 
We've come from nothing, nothing 
Em      C                       G       D 
We have come from nothing, nothing 
Em      C                       G       D 
Teach me to love you in a different way 
Em      C                       G       D 
 Same cuts same guts same crazy 
Em      C                       G       D 
Same cuts same guts same crazy 
Em      C                       G       D 
I traveled halfway across the country and back 
Em      C                       G       D 
Only to find love undefined and I'm OK with that 
Em      C                       G       D 
Cause I'm gonna be a guardian be a man among men 
Em      C                       G       D 
Be a guardian be a man among men 
Em      C                       G       D 
Or be a woman among women be a guardian 
Em      C                       G       D 
Be my friend ooh be my friend 
      Em      C         G     D 
We're a part of something special 
       Em      C         G     D 
We're a part of something special 
        Em      C         G     D 
We're a part of something special 
       Em       C 
It's a crack in time 
  G      D 
A wrinkle 
       Em       C           G    D 
Fallen from the nest, young eagle 
       Em               C 
I will pull my feathers out 
     G    D 
Stay humble 
     Em    C   G    D 
Stay humble 
     Em    C   G    D 
Stay humble 
     Em    C   G    D 
Stay humble 
    Em     C   G    D 
Stay humble
