 [Ab]       Some people think we don't have the right

 [Ebm7]

 [Bbm]
 [Ab]       Before they give in, they'd rather fuss and fight

 [Ebm7]

 [Ab]       Than say it's my country

 [C#]       I've [B]paid three hundre[F#7]d years or more

 [C#]       Of slave [B]driving, sw[F#7]eat, and welts on my back
            [1: D#m7/G#]
          [2,3: D#m7       D#m7/G#]
        This is my country

[repeat intro]

        Too many have died in protecting my pride
        For me to go second class
        We've survived a hard blow and I want you to know
        That you must face us at last

        And I know you will give consideration
        Shall we perish unjust or live equal as a nation
        This is my country

[repeat second half of verse 2; [N.C.] on "equal"]
