Sing Australia Chords & Lyrics - John Denver

I[D] come to Australia as many people do
To see the old koala, hitch a ride on a kangar[A]oo
To h[D]ear somebody call me mate
And call somebody blue[Gsus2]
To h[D]ear an aborigine play a dig[A]ereedoo[D]

S[D]ome of you came as prisoners two centuries ago
Some of you come as kings and queens, your blessing to best[A]ow
So[D]me of you stand all swelled with pride,
Some with shattered wings[Gsus2]
Bu[D]t all of us come with open hearts to hear Austr[A]alia s[D]ing.

In the d[G]eserts, in the c[D]ities, in the m[G]ountains, and in the s[D]ea
In the st[G]ories, and in the p[D]eople
I can hear Austr[A]alia s[D]ing

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

Sing Austr[G]alia, Sing Austr[D]alia, Sing Austr[G]alia, Sing Austr[D]alia
In the s[G]ails of Sydney H[D]arbor
I can hear Austr[A]alia s[D]ing
