Verse 1
                F                      C       
Because it was sacred, because it was home
                    F                      C       D      
Because these were feelings, from so long ago
                      F                     C
They listened to the spirits, that came up strong
                   G     F                D           
They all pulled together, to sing their song


Verse 2
                 F                        C
This is how they did it, spears by their side
                   F                   C       D
They stood on the mountain, for their land rights
                 F                        C
All the people noticed, the movement took flight


Chorus 
            G                F                C 
They said this is our home, these are our rights
 G                    F           C
This is our home, these are our rights


F       C      G      F      E      D      C


Verse 3
                F               C
Country it was taken, land dug up
               F                     C       D
Families were broken, spirits were crushed
                        F                          C
The language that was silenced, is now free to be passed
                  G   F                    D
The cup that was empty, is slowly filling up


Chorus 
            G                F                C 
They said this is our home, these are our rights
 G                    F           C
This is our home, these are our rights


Verse 4 + ending
                F                                  C
So we can pull together, show our children it is time
          G                F                C
You see, this is our home, these are our rights
G                  F               C
This is our home, these are our rights
G                 F               C
This is our home, these are our rights
