van Diemen's land

U2

 GCGCG
Hold me now, oh hold me now     
 EmCD
Till this hour has gone around
 BmEmC
And I'm gone on the rising tide 
 GDGCG
For to face van Diemen's land    
 GCGCG
It's a bitter pill I swallow here    
 EmCD
To be rent from one so dear
 BmEmC
We fought for justice and not for gain
 GGCG
But the magistrate sent me away    
 GCGCG
Now kings will rule and the poor will toil    
 EmCD
And tear their hands as they tear the soil
 BmEmC
But a day will come in the dawning age
 GGC
When an honest man sees an honest wage
 GCGCG
Hold me now, oh hold me now    
 EmCD
Till this hour has gone around
 BmEmC
And I'm gone on the rising tide 
 GDGCG
For to face van Diemen's land    
 GCGCG
Still the gunman rules and widows pay   
 EmCD
A scarlet coat now a black beret
 BmEmC
They thought that blood and sacrifice
 GGC
Could out of death bring forth a life
