Verse 1:
[C#]Some people t[/C]hink we don't [A#m]have the right[/G#]
To say it's[D#m7] my country[D#m7/G#]
Bef[C#]ore they give [/C]in, they'd rather [A#m]fuss and fight[/G#]
Than say it's[D#m7] my country[D#m7/G#]
I've p[C#]aid three h[B]undred years or [F#7]more
Of sl[C#]ave driving, sw[B]eat, and w[F#7]elts on my back

[2,3: D#m7 D#m7/G#]
This is my country
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
Too many have died in protecting my pride
For me to go second class
We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know
That you must face us at last
And I know you will give consideration
Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
This is my country
[repeat intro]
[repeat second balf of verse 2; N.C. on "equal"]
[repeat intro to fade]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
