_ _ _ _ Down the botany den the burnt crashes brown from the [Eb] autumn's fade
_ _ _ [Gm] Spreading hazel's rustle as they bend and sway as they lead [Eb] and wait
_ [Bb]
My fathers they have walked this road and now [Eb] I know
Yes, didn't they [G] know?
_ [Bb]
There is no great and heavy load
And now I [Eb] _
know
Yes, didn't they know?
[Bb] _
Fa la [F] la la la [Bb] la
Standing [Gm] solid ground
On [Eb] solid ground
[F] Fa la la la la la
Standing [Gm] solid ground
On [Eb] solid _ [Gm] ground
Across the islet [Bb] face the amber [F] sun beats down
Pinned [Eb] to the vivid green
_ _ [Bb] I hear it wild and loud feel it wide and proud
The way it's always [Eb] been
My fathers they have looked this way and now [Eb] I know
Yes, didn't they [F] know?
_ No clever words we have [Bb] to say
And now I _ know
Yes, didn't they [F]
know?
[Bbm] Fa la la la la la
Standing solid [Gm] ground
On [F] solid ground
[Bbm] Fa la la la la la
Standing solid [Gm] ground
On solid [Eb] ground
It's the land it is our wisdom
_ [G] It's the land that [Eb] shines [F] us through
It's [Gm] the land that [Eb] feeds our [F] children
It's [Gm] the land we cannot own
The land the land [Gm] owns you
It's the land it [Eb] is our [F] wisdom
It's the land that [Eb] shines us through
[Gm] It's the land that feeds our [F] children
It's the land [Eb] you cannot own
The [F] land the land [Gm] owns you
_ Where [F] is the honest truth?
[Bb] Where is the open soul?
Where is [F] the simple [Eb] smile?
_ That could be [F] wild or true
For the passing [C] stranger who may [Eb] rest a while _
_ [Bbm] My fathers they have said these things
And now I know
_ Yes, didn't they [Bbm] know?
The joy that shared [F] friendship [Bb] brings
And now [Eb] I know
Yes, didn't they [F] know?
