A Country Denied

    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
