D I come to Australia as many people do A To see the old koala, hitch a ride on a kangaroo D To hear somebody call me mate Gsus2 And call somebody blue D A D To hear an aborigine play a digereedoo D Some of you came as prisoners two centuries ago A Some of you come as kings and queens, your blessing to bestow D Some of you stand all swelled with pride, Gsus2 Some with shattered wings D A D But all of us come with open hearts to hear Australia sing. G D G D In the deserts, in the cities, in the mountains, and in the sea G D In the stories, and in the people A D I can hear Australia sing Verses 3 & 4: Waltzing Matilda, the men of Galipoli Clancy of the over flow, Crocodile Dundee The myth of all creation, the teaching of Baiame The legends of the dream time for all eternity In this celebration of a brief two hundred years The cost to build a nation in blood and sweat and tears And if we stand divided, divided we will fall But if we stand together, we shall conquer all Repeat Chorus G D G D Sing Australia, Sing Australia, Sing Australia, Sing Australia G D In the sails of Sydney Harbor A D I can hear Australia sing
