(D)Looking 'round the land,
that (F#m)once belonged to him.
The (G)looking wasn't
(D)easy, there was (G)nothing there but (D)sin
He cried out to the heavens,
(F#m)nearly broke his heart.
Oh (G)look at what they've
(D)done, torn my (G)land a(D)part.
Chorus
Oh (G)Lord save the (D)land, Oh (G)Lord save my
(F#m)land,
Oh (G)Lord save the (D)land, and (G)all your (A)children,
(D)too.
(D)See them fighting, (F#m)dying
in the streets,
See (G)all your (D)little
babies, with (G)nothing more to (D)eat
Oh Lord shine a light,
(F#m)shine a light on me,
I (G)know it isn't (D)easy,
that's the (G)way it's got to (D)be.
Chorus
What (D)happened to the
forest, (F#m)where the red deer run,
(G)Why is a family
(D)crying, for their (G)one and only (D)son,
The cruel black smoke is
rising, though (F#m)sun is shining through.
Now (G)cry beloved
(D)country, what are we (G)going to (D)do?
Chorus twice
Chorus quickly fading
