(C major) I came from the dream- time

(C major) The first (G major) Australian (C major)

I came upon the prison ship
Bowed (F major) down by iron chains (C major)

I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife
On a (F major) dry and (G major) barren run (A minor) (F major)
A (C major) convict, then a (D minor) free man
I be (F major) came Aus (G major) tralian
