Clem Tholet - Rhodesians never die
G A G A A D A D A
D Bm
Here's the story of Rhodesia,
G A D
A land both fair and great.
D Bm
On 11th of November
G A
An independent state.
D Bm
This was much against the wishes
G A
Of certain governments,
G D
Whose leaders tried to break us down,
A D
To make us all repent.
G
But we're all Rhodesians
D
And we'll fight through thick and thin.
G
We'll keep our land a free land,
D A
Stop the enemy coming in.
D Bm
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
G A
'Til that river's running dry.
G D
This mighty land will prosper
A D
For Rhodesians never die.
A D A
D Bm
They can send their men to murder
G A D
And they can shout their words of hate.
D Bm
But the cost of keeping this land free
G A
Can never be too great.
D Bm
For our men and boys are fighting
G A
For the things that they hold dear.
G D
That this land and all its people
A D
Will never disappear.
G
Cos we're all Rhodesians
D
And we'll fight through thick and thin.
G
We'll keep our land a free land,
D A
Stop the enemy coming in.
D Bm
We'll keep them north of the Zambezi
G A
'Til that river's running dry.
G D
This mighty land will prosper
A D
For Rhodesians never die.
