All right all!! At front I must stage the background of this tab. I�m in Australia in Melbourne were I believe till this point in time native Australians are marginalize, looked down on, racialist, and still treated like something that doesn�t belong in this world. It�s for this reason I�ve try to compose this tab written by Paul Kelly. Must note This highlights a dark time for the aboriginals.

Grandfather walked this land in chains,
5 -5 6 -5 5 5
A~land he called his own
