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