[D]My land by the water , my land by the waterside
Jiir, milgin-ngurru
Feeding on the rising tide

[Bm]You know the tide right , just look at the m[D]oon
[Bm]Yellow wattle flower smell 'em, tell 'em that the mullet must be fat t[D]oday
[Bm]Sliding in, glide on the wind of the late afte[A]rnoon --> CHORUS
[Bm]Local fisherman gotta bagful, gotta big gang plenty mouth to f[D]eed
[Bm]Man with the badge say hey you you?re breaking the ru[D]les
[Bm]Don?t care what your rule is you know thousand politicians couldn't
change my w[D]ays
[Bm]My law is the sea and pull of the sun and the m[A]oon
[D]My land by the water , my land by the waterside
Jiir, milgin-ngurru
Feeding on the rising tide
