Em
Oh you, my lowland brother
C
What did we really know of each other
Em C
They had seen to it that we were kept apart
Em
Oh you, my lowland brother
C
When did we lose each other
Em C
For you were but a boy with the freedom of falcons in is heart
[Chorus]
Am
When did we know that we were on the wrong side
C
That this war had always been just a matter of pride
Am
When did we notice the one with the land we loved
C
You'll cry within your heaven above
F
This is no time for amnesia
Dm
And what glue would hold us together now
Em
If not the soil of Rhodesia
[Bridge]
Em C x2
[Verse 2]
Em C
Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts
Em
And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs
C
And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
Em
Now we're sleeping in circles
C
On the stones of silverstream
Em
Under nectar-weeping trees
C
Through blood-curdling screams
[Chorus 2]
Am
This call for the great divide
C
It felt like an end to pride
F
A country dead before the seizure
Dm Em
A country denied - Rhodesia
[Bridge]
Em C x2
[Verse 2]
Em C
Rhodesia still lies in all the slain wild beasts
Em
And in the wind of the cotton land still in their lungs
C
And their sightless eyes of a honeydew sun
Em
Now we're sleeping in circles
C
On the stones of silverstream
Em
Under nectar-weeping trees
C
Through blood-curdling screams
[Chorus 2]
Am
This call for the great divide
C
It felt like an end to pride
F
A country dead before the seizure
Dm
A country denied
