Van Diemen's Land Chords by U2

[Intro]

[Verse]
Gb Db Gb             B
■  ■  ■  Hold me now ■
           Gb 
Oh hold me now
          Ebm  B
'til this hour ■
         Db    
Has gone around
        Bbm 
And I'm gone
              Ebm  B
On the rising tide ■
       Gb   Db
For to face ■ 
    Gb           
Van Diemen's land
              B   
It's a bitter pill
          Gb  
I swallow here
      Ebm  B        Db     
To be rent from one so dear
              Bbm    
We fought for justice
            Ebm  B
And not for gain ■
        Gb         Db
But the magistrate ■ 
        Gb  
Sent me away
                    B
Now kings will rule ■
                  Gb  
And the poor will toil
               Ebm   B
And tear their hands ■


[Chorus]
                 Db  
As they tear the soil
               Bbm 
But a day will come
                Ebm B
In this dawning age ■
               Gb 
When an honest man
Db                Gb  
■  Sees an honest wage
        B  
Hold me now
           Gb 
Oh hold me now
          Ebm  B
'til this hour ■


[Outro]
         Db       
Has gone ■  around
        Bbm 
And I'm gone
N.C.              
On the rising tide
N.C.                         
For to face Van Diemen's land
