D A Since I was just a little boy, I’ve been wondering why Bm G This great old culture we should be helping to heal is so often pushed aside D A So many children taken away, so much abuse and rape Bm G When will it be high priority to educate and make some real change? D A I’ve seen it in communities, so many that it’s hard to believe Bm G D A Elders speaking wisdom, far beyond what they choose to teach in history D A And young hearts just drinking it away, understanding why their culture was so shamed Bm G D A Waiting for a reason, what was taken off still hasn’t been replaced [Chorus] D My own eyes... A I saw it with my own eyes Bm G I did, I did (yeah, I did) D A D A D That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it’s true) [Verse 2] A D I’ve seen it down in sacred Tassie A Where they’re cutting all those big old trees Bm G D A Forty-four football fields a day is what they clear and ain’t that hard to believe? D A But all for the economy, raping country that our children won’t see Bm G D A And even Peter Garrett is lying down when we thought that he might be the key [Chorus] D Yeah, well, my own eyes... A I saw it with my own eyes Bm G I did, I did (yeah, I did) D A D A D That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true) [Verse 3] A D A I’ve seen it up in Nhulunbuy, bringing alcohol to sacred soil Bm G D A A place still thriving with language and culture by now should just fucken’ be preserved D A People climbing up on Uluru, behind those fences are the people who know Bm G D A While Qantas is still flying to Ayers Rock, despite years and years of truth [Chorus] D Yeah, well, my own eyes... A I saw it with my own eyes Bm G I did, I did (yeah, I did) D A D A D A That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true) [Solo] D A Bm G D A Bm G Heyyy Ohhh D A Bm G Heyyy Ohhh D A D [Verse 4] A D A And I’ve seen it in the Kimberley, part of the key to human history Bm G D A See there’s rock art as old as the great ice age, still there for the world to see D A Demolish it for industry. We’ll create so many jobs you see Bm G D A In a country so wealthy, still burning coal for electricity [Chrus] D Yeah, well, my own eyes... A I saw it with my own eyes Bm G I did, I did (yeah, I did) D A D A D That’s why I know this is true (yeah, it's true) [Verse 5] A D Same old things we always hear A Lies to fill the pockets of the rich Bm G No respect for culture, the animals, the environment D A Our future or just the air we breathe D A Bm G Mmmmmmmm aaaaaaaa nananaa nananaaa oooooo aaaaaaaa [Chorus] D Yeah, our own eyes... A We’ve seen this with our own eyes Bm G For years we did, for centuries we did D A That’s why we know this is true D Yeah, well, my own eyes...
