VERSE 2: (Starts with Em strum on guitar)             

The backbone of this country's broken        G     A     G A Em

The land is cracked and the land is sore     G     A     G A Em  

Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips   G     A     G A Em  

We cursed and stumbled across that shore     D

G      Dm

I hear much support for the monarchy

G          Dm              F

I hear the Union Jack's to remain,

G     Dm

I see Namatjira in custody

Am    Em            |C   C   C   C   |C   C   D   D|

I see Truganini's in chains

Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere    G     A     G A Em

You just go round and round in debt          G     A     G A Em

Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate   G     A     G A Em

And I hope you're not beaten yet             D
