The Seekers - I Am Australian
C F Am
[Verse]
C
I came from the dream-time,
F C
From the dusty red-soil plains
Am
I Am the ancient heart, The
F G C
keeper of the flame
I stood upon the rocky shores,
F G Am F
I watched the tall ships come.
C Dm
For forty thousand years I've
F G C
been, The first Australian
C
I came upon the prison ship,
F C
Bowed down by iron chains
Am
I fought the land, endured the
F G C
lash, And waited for the rains
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's
F G Am
wife, On a dry and barren run,
F
C Dm
A convict, then a free man, I
F G C
became Australian
C
I'm the daughter of a digger,
F C
Who sought the mother lode.
Am
The girl became a woman, On the
F G C
long and dusty road.
I'm a child of the Depression,
F G Am F
I saw the good times come,
C Dm
I'm a bushie, I'm a battler, I
F G C
Am Australian.
[Chorus]
C C C F C
We are one, but we are many,
C Am G
And from all the lands on earth
C
we come.
C
We'll share a dream and sing
F C
with one voice,
F G Am G F
"I am, you are, we are
G C
Australian"
[Verse]
C
I'm a teller of stories, I'm a
F C
singer of songs,
Am
I Am Albert Namatjira, And I
F G C
paint the ghostly gums.
I'm Clancy on his horse, I'm
F G Am F
Ned Kelly on the run,
C
I'm the one who waltzed
Dm F G C
Matilda, I Am Australian.

C
I'm the hot wind from the
F
desert, I'm the black soil
C
of the plains,
Am
I'm the mountains and the
F
valleys, I'm the drought
G C
and flooding rains.
I Am the rock, I Am the sky,
F G Am F
The rivers when they run,
C Dm
The spirit of this great land,
F G C
I Am Australian.
[Chorus]
C C C F C
We are one, but we are many,
C Am G
And from all the lands on earth
C
we come.
C
We'll share a dream and sing
F C
with one voice,
F G Am G F
"I am, you are, we are
G C
Australian"
F G Am G F
"I am, you are, we are
G C
Australian"
