lyrics

All Australians Stand
(Key Eb – Capo 1st Fret; play in ‘D’)

If we look out over time - There’s been a cry to stand
At times its right here - At times in a foreign land
Whenever we have heard it, we have risen to the cause
You can count on Australia - As you’ve done before.

It was off to fight the boars in 18 99, -
The Empire needed help is was time to hold the line
The Great war came and off we went – it was time to defend again
Then Hitler rose and shook his fist – as we lined ……up to enlist

Chorus:
All Australians stand – be proud of your past
Many have gone before you, so you won’t be the last
People full of courage , from all walks of life
They answered the call to fight, WHERE EVER there was strife
Its who we are, it makes us great - We’ll stand - side by side
for freedom and Australia - We’ll remember those who’ve died

Off to Malaya and Korea, Vietnam just dragged on
9/11 showed us, that war was about to dawn
The Middle East exploded, the Afghans followed suit –
Now it was time - to call on our recruits

Chorus:

Lead – same as verse

Mid 8
To all our veterans we’re to here say
Hold your heads up high
May your heart beat ever true
We salute you - cause your true blue’

Chorus:
