Verse 1
Am 
G 
They burned them from their houses,
Am 
G 
Am 
and they shipped them overseas
G 
We had the crops and the villages
Am 
just to make way for the sheep
C 
G 
All in the name of progress,
Am 
at least that's what I'm told
As the grand old
G 
Duke of
Am 
Sutherland is counting up
C 
G 
Am 
C 
G 
Am 
his gold
G 
I dreamed one night I saw him
Am 
riding across the field
G 
With his army stretched be hind
Am 
G 
Am 
him in a dream -like awful scene
C 
G 
He begged me would I join his cause
Am 
and he offered up his hand
When the blood of others
G 
run down his arm,
Am 
G 
Am 
D

Onto the spot where I did stand.

Am 
G 
I watched them shoot the men force
Am 
G 
Am 
As the roofs they set ablaze
G 
And I heard the screams of children
Am 
That stood there in my rage
C 
G 
Is this the face of progress?
Am 
Then I do not understand
G 
And I awoke so terrified,
Am 
G 
Am 
C 
G 
Am 
C 
with a gold coin in my hand
G 
Am 
G 
Was I so afraid I asked myself,
Am 
G 
Am 
did I   stand by and look
G 
Are we all born so easily,
C 
G 
Am 
G 
Am 
hiding everything we took?
C 
G 
Or if we feel injustice,
D 
G 
Am 
then should we take a stand?
G 
I thought I saw the future pass,
Am 
with a gold coin in his hand
G 
I thought I saw the future pass
Am 
G 
Am 
Dm 
G 
The gold coin in its hand
The gold coin in its hand
Am
