C 
G 
C 
G 
C 
 (C major)  (G major)  (C major) He sits and  (G major) he dreams,  (C major) 
D 
where his  (D major) campfire gleams,
G 
C 
An  (G major) old man of tribal renown.  (C major) 
So sad and alone
D 
in his  (D major) true native home
G 
C 
A  (G major) king without subjects or  (C major) crown
F 
His  (F major) fears are at rest,
C 
but the  (C major) scars on his breast
G 
Tell stories so brave without doubt  (G major) 
C 
Now he's  (C major) fighting his oar,
D 
and he  (D major) waits for the call
G 
C 
To go  (G major) on that last walk about  (C major) 
The skill of the chase,
D 
once the  (D major) pride of his race
G 
C 
Now fading  (G major) from memory fast  (C major) 
D 
Like the wild kangaroo and stately  (D major) emu,
G 
C 
Too soon  (G major) will be things of the past.  (C major) 
F 
There's a  (F major) tale yet untold,
C 
both tragic  (C major) and old,
G 
A tale far too long to describe.  (G major) 
C 
How a  (C major) merciless band,
D 
with  (D major) weapons in hand,
G 
C 
G 
C 
once slaughtered  (G major) the pick of his tribe.  (C major)  (G major)  (C major) 
So he gathered more braves
D 
from coastlands  (D major) and caves
G 
And trailed  (G major) them through
C 
mountains of snow  (C major) 
And fell, are told,
D 
like a  (D major) wolf on the fold,
G 
C 
And  (G major) humbled the pride of his foe.  (C major) 
F 
But the  (F major) brave he once led
C 
are scattered  (C major) and dead,
They've melted away like the dew.
G 
C 
 (G major) And his  (C major) waddy and shield
D 
were left  (D major) on the field
G 
C 
The  (G major) day his last battle was  (C major) through
His Louvre's asleep,
D 
where the  (D major) supple jacks creep
G 
C 
All the  (G major) limbs of the Banksy a  (C major) tree
And her funeral dirge
D 
was the  (D major) sad endless surge
G 
C 
Of the  (G major) waves of the cold restless sea  (C major) 
F 
Then dis (F major) turb not his dreams
C 
of  (C major) bushlands and streams,
G 
And deeds in the chase and the prey,  (G major) 
C 
D 
Ere an  (C major) alien race, without pity  (D major) or grace,
G 
C 
F 
C 
Had trampled  (G major) the pride of Canae.  (C major)  (F major)  (C major) you
