G C F A#
D
Since the Dwagon wheels rolled north
It Chas been many Dyears
The Dcountry has been built and run
By Chardy pioDneers
They Afought the Matabele 
And a Emany hardship too
The Aflag unfurled will tell the world
And Esing this song to you
And Dyou can call us rebels 
And Cyou can call us Drogues
We Dwere founded by an Englishman
By the Cname of Cecil DRhodes
We Gfought for this dear land of ours
And Fmany men did Gdie
And Gwe may have to fight again 
For Fthis is UDAI
In a Dtime of need
We stood behind Cthe motherDland
Ours Dsoldiers fought in Flanders field
And Cin the desert Dsand
In Asteaming jungles we have fought
The Ecommon enemy
But these Athings have been forgotten
Since the Edays of victory
And Dyou can call us rebels 
And Cyou can call us Drogues
We Dwere founded by an Englishman
By the Cname of Cecil DRhodes
We Gfought for this dear land of ours
And Fmany men did Gdie
And Gwe may have to fight again 
For Fthis is UDAI
And Dnow the sun is setting 
UCpon the great reDgime
DChildren all are leaving
The Cnest where they were Dweaned
And Anow the youngest child has left
The Eparent and the home
And Ait can prove its worth
If it's Eonly left alone
And Dyou can call us rebels 
And Cyou can call us Drogues
We Dwere founded by an Englishman
By the Cname of Cecil DRhodes
We Gfought for this dear land of ours
And Fmany men did Gdie
And Gwe may have to fight again 
For Fthis is UDAI                      (ad libitum)
This song is on the album Troopie Songs Volume 1, it's the most polished version! 
For the intro you can play the D chord and its variations (Dsus4 and Dsus2), 
and only strum once each chord for the G C F A# part.
But you can skip the intro, the rest of the song is pretty straightforward 
so you shouldn't have a problem transposing it to the other versions. To be noted: 
'weem' is a scottish term for house, and seeing as Mr. Edmond live a bit in Scotland explains that, 
because I had no idea what it ment beforehand.

John Edmond - UDI Song

G C F A#

Since the wagon wheels rolled north

C D

It has been many years

The country has been built and run

C D

By hardy pioneers

They fought the Matabele

And a many hardship too

The flag unfurled will tell the world

And sing this song to you

And you can call us rebels

C D

And you can call us rogues

We were founded by an Englishman

C D

By the name of Cecil Rhodes

We fought for this dear land of ours

F G

And many men did die

And we may have to fight again

F A

For this is UDI

In a time of need

C D

We stood behind the motherland

Ours soldiers fought in Flanders field

C D

And in the desert sand

In steaming jungles we have fought

The common enemy

But these things have been forgotten

Since the days of victory

And you can call us rebels

C D

And you can call us rogues

We were founded by an Englishman

C D

By the name of Cecil Rhodes

We fought for this dear land of ours

F G

And many men did die

And we may have to fight again

F A

For this is UDI

And now the sun is setting

C D

Upon the great regime

Children all are leaving

C D

The nest where they were weaned

And now the youngest child has left

The parent and the home

And it can prove its worth

If it's only left alone

And you can call us rebels

C D

And you can call us rogues

We were founded by an Englishman

C D

By the name of Cecil Rhodes

We fought for this dear land of ours

F G

And many men did die

And we may have to fight again

F A

For this is UDI (ad libitum)
