Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  rode to my homeland
 and carried the memory over the valley  below
 and the heart of a nation
 the war cry was blazing
 and the loss of my brothers  and sons
 were all in the name of civilisation
the  empty moon  saw I was leaving
with pride  and hope  in my heart
the  mountains talk  of faraway dreaming
so  came the invasion
 across from a faraway place into the new  world
 with guns and new  order
 they gave us religion
 then took away all of our rights and forced
 us to live behind their new  border
the  four winds blow and bring  a new vision
where  children laugh without  fear
the  land will speak and people  will listen
but  yesterday my life was fading
with  every reason to die
ten  miles to the north
 as I rode  my red horse in the dying sun
 and then  when I saw the white soldiers
one  hundred or more in a line
kill  for the land
saying  their law will stand
what  kind of God do they see?
What  kind of god can this be?

[B]I rode to my homeland

and the heart of a n[B]ation

the war cry was blazing
and the loss of my brothers[A] and sons
were all in the name of [B]civilisation

[E]the empty [G]moon saw I was l[E]eaving
[E]with [G]pride and h[E]ope in my heart
[E]the mountains [G]talk of faraway d[A]reaming

[B]so came the invasion
across from a faraway place into the n[A]ew world
with guns and n[B]ew order

they gave us religion
then took away all of our rights and [A]forced
us to live behind their [B]new border

[G]the four winds blow and [E]bring a new vision
[G]where children laugh wit[E]hout fear
[G]the land will speak and [E]people will listen

[D]but yesterday my life was [A]fading
[D]with every reason to [A]die
[D]ten miles to the north
as I ro[A]de my red horse in the [G]dyi[A]ng [E]sun
and [D]then when I saw the white [A]soldiers
[D]one hundred or more in a [A]line
[D]kill for the land
[A]saying their law will stand
[Am]what kind of God do they s[G]ee?
[D]What kind of god can this [A]be?
