[D] [A]
Since I was just a little boy, I’ve been wondering why
[Bm] [G]
This great old culture we should be helping to heal is so often pushed aside
[D] [A]
So many children taken away, so much abuse and rape
[Bm] [G]
When will it be high priority to educate and make some real change?
[D] [A]
I’ve seen it in communities, so many that it’s hard to believe
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
Elders speaking wisdom, far beyond what they choose to teach in history
[D] [A]
And young hearts just drinking it away, understanding why their culture was so shamed
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
Waiting for a reason, what was taken off still hasn’t been replaced
[Chorus]
[D]
My own eyes...
[A]
I saw it with my own eyes
[Bm] [G]
I did, I did (yeah, I did)
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it’s true)
[Verse 2]
[A] [D]
I’ve seen it down in sacred Tassie
[A]
Where they’re cutting all those big old trees
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
Forty-four football fields a day is what they clear and ain’t that hard to believe?
[D] [A]
But all for the economy, raping country that our children won’t see
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
And even Peter Garrett is lying down when we thought that he might be the key
[Chorus]
[D]
Yeah, well, my own eyes...
[A]
I saw it with my own eyes
[Bm] [G]
I did, I did (yeah, I did)
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true)
[Verse 3]
[A] [D] [A]
I’ve seen it up in Nhulunbuy, bringing alcohol to sacred soil
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
A place still thriving with language and culture by now should just fucken’ be preserved
[D] [A]
People climbing up on Uluru, behind those fences are the people who know
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
While Qantas is still flying to Ayers Rock, despite years and years of truth
[Chorus]
[D]
Yeah, well, my own eyes...
[A]
I saw it with my own eyes
[Bm] [G]
I did, I did (yeah, I did)
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D] [A]
That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true)
[Solo]
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
Heyyy Ohhh
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
Heyyy Ohhh
[D] [A] [D]
[Verse 4]
[A] [D] [A]
And I’ve seen it in the Kimberley, part of the key to human history
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
See there’s rock art as old as the great ice age, still there for the world to see
[D] [A]
Demolish it for industry. We’ll create so many jobs you see
[Bm] [G] [D] [A]
In a country so wealthy, still burning coal for electricity
[Chrus]
[D]
Yeah, well, my own eyes...
[A]
I saw it with my own eyes
[Bm] [G]
I did, I did (yeah, I did)
[D] [A] [D] [A] [D]
That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true)
[Verse 5]
[A] [D]
Same old things we always hear
[A]
Lies to fill the pockets of the rich
[Bm] [G]
No respect for culture, the animals, the environment
[D] [A]
Our future or just the air we breathe
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
Mmmmmmmm aaaaaaaa nananaa nananaaa oooooo aaaaaaaa
[Chorus]
[D]
Yeah, our own eyes...
[A]
We’ve seen this with our own eyes
[Bm] [G]
For years we did, for centuries we did
[D] [A]
That’s why we know this is true
[D]
Yeah, well, my own eyes...
[A]
I saw it with my own eyes
[Bm] [G]
I did, I did (yeah, I did)
[D] [A] [D]
That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true)
