NATIVES (CHRISTY MOORE)
(starting in C)
C# G# C#
For all of our languages we can't communicate
G# A#m
For all of our native tongues we're all natives here
Fm A#m C#
Sons of their fathers' dream the same dream
G# A#m
The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream
F# G#
Voices in anger, victims of history
A#m G# F# G# C#
Plundered and set aside, grown fat on swallowed pride.
C# G# C#
With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives
G# A#m
Missionaries and pioneers are soldiers in disguise
Fm A#m C#
Saviours and conquerors they make us wait
G# A#m
The fishers of men they wave their truth like bait
F# G#
With the touch of a stranger's hand innocence turns to shame
A#m G# F# G# C#
The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain.
C# G# C#
For all of our languages we can't communicate
G# A#m
For all of our native tongues we're all natives here
Fm A#m C#
The scars of the past are slow to disappear
G# A#m
The cries of the dead are always in our ears
F# G#
Only the very safe can talk about wrong or right
A#m G# F# G# C#
Of those who are forced to choose some will choose to fight
C# G# C#
For all of our languages we can't communicate
