[Intro]

Em Am B7 Em

[Verse 1]

Em Am B7 Em

I sit here now 2010, government still stealing land

Em Am

Making lame excuses for their greed

B7 Em

While that oil spills into the sea

Em Am

And the whalers now still killing whales

B7 Em

And old growth bush still being raped

Em Am

And I know we all have busy lives

B7 Em

But sing along if you have the time

[Chorus]

B5 A5 G5 Em

Bow down to your god

But don't forget about the earth

Place your hand on a tree

Who's helping you breathe

Give thanks to the sun

When you open your lungs

Throw your buts in the bin

Help the old turtles swim

Em Am B7 Em

[Verse 2]

Em Am

Selling tourism on sacred land

B7 Em

While the local mob sit on their hands

Em Am

If what I'm speaking here makes any sense

B7 Em

Open up my friend and jump the fence

[Chorus]

B5 A5 G5 Em

Bow down to your god

But don't forget about the earth

Place your hand on a tree

Who's helping you breathe

Give thanks to the sun

When you open your lungs

Throw your buts in the bin

Help the old turtles swim

[Verse 3]

Em G

Freedom for all

Am Em

Freedom for all

(repeat the verse 3 till the end)
