We Have Seen Better Days

WE HAVE SEEN BETTER DAYS

A lament for a better past and hope for a brighter future.

D              G                         A

Five stars has the Southern Cross

D            G                       A

One for you and one for me

        G                          A

One each for truth and justice

              D                 G

And the last for liberty

D                   A                G

But, we have seen better days

D              A               G    Em G  A

We have seen better days    –   my friends

We live beneath a rising sun

Shines on you, shines on me

Shines on every one of us 

From the desert to the sea

But, we have seen better days

We have seen better days – my friends

Five stars has the Southern Cross

One for you and one for me

One each for truth and justice

And the last for liberty

But, we have seen better days

We have seen better days    –   my friends

We are surrounded by the ocean

Flows round you, flows round me

Joining every one of us 

From wherever we may be

But, we have seen better days

We have seen better days – my friends

Five stars has the Southern Cross

One for you and one for me

One each for truth and justice

And the last for liberty

But, we have seen better days

We have seen better days    –   my friends
