[F#m] There's a cold rain [E] on the autumn wind, [F#m] a brother murdered in [G#m] Sydney town.
[F#m] My poor brother [E] Alice pulls Giggle cover [F#m] in his home, guns [E] him down.
He [F#] says, oh, oh, oh, oh, [F#m] _ _ [E] guns [F#m] him down.
[E] Fat rivers of tears, [B] 200 years in the [F#m] river of fear, guns him down.
[E] _ _
[F#m] _ _ [E] _ [F#m] They took him [F#] out at point-blank [F#m] range in his home with his small [C#] young son.
[F#m] Shot him [F#] dead in his marital [F#m] bed with a Pumax, a [F#] 12-gauge [F#m] shotgun.
Fatherless child, a grieving wife, a black beauty deep on the run.
On the run two centuries from oppression, loaded guns.
We say, oh, oh, oh, oh, _ _ guns him down.
Fat rivers of tears, 200 years in the river of fear, [F#] _
[F#m] guns him down.
[F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
Terrorists [F#] dressed in uniform under the protection of their lord.
[F#m] Terrorized [C#] blacks in domes of [F#m] fear that come smashing [C#] through your door.
[F#m] You're not safe [F#] outside on Freedom [F#m] Street, you're not safe [B] inside the camp.
[F#m] With their shotguns and their stun guns, the license to drop you where you stand.
We say, [F#] oh, oh, oh, [F#m] oh, _ [F#] _ _
[F#m] fat [F#] _ [F#m] rivers of tears, [C#] 200 years in [F#m] the river of [F#] fear, guns him down. _ _
