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