VAN DIEMANS LAND (from the album "Rattle and Hum")
----------------
[Chorus]
Hold me nGow,C oh hold me Gnow C G
Til this hEmourC has gone aDround.
And I'm gBmone on the rising tEmideC
For to fGacDe Van Diemen's LGandC. G
[Verse]
It's a bitter pGillC I swallow hGere C G
To be rEmentC from one so dDear.
We fought for juBmstice and not for gEmainC
But the magistrGatDe sent me awGay.C G
Now the kings will rGuleC and the poor will tGoil C G
And tear their haEmndsC as they tear the sDoil.
But a day will cBmome in this dawning aEmge C
When an honest maGn D sees and honest wGageC. G
[Chorus]
Hold me nGow,C oh hold me Gnow C G
Til this hEmourC has gone aDround.
And I'm gBmone on the rising tEmideC
For to fGacDe Van Diemen's LGandC. G
[Verse]
Still the gunman ruGlesC and widows Gpay C G
A scarlet cEmoatC now a black bDeret.
They thought that blBmood and sacrifice Em C
Could out of deGatDh bring forth a lGifeC. G
[Chorus]
Hold me nGow,C oh hold me Gnow C G
Til this hEmourC has gone aDround.
And I'm gBmone on the rising tEmideC
For to fGacDe Van Diemen's LGandC. G
