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