Verse 1:
(A) DG
When the troubles of a whole wide world
DA
come knocking on your door
DG
and there's problems of a different kind
GA
that you've never had before
DG
when you're playin' against a gale force wind
DA
and it changes at half time
AG
and you find your strength deserting you
GA
and an emptiness inside
Chorus:
GAD
When there's people that will harm you
DGD
though you've done to them no wrong
DG
it's time to sing, it's time to sing
GA
sing a powerful song
Repeat intro
Verse 2: (same chords)
When they want to ruin our province
just to turn it into gold,
when they think our greatest asset
can be mined, dug up and sold,
when the factories are all closing,
like they are in our home town,
and your friends are looking out for work
that's nowhere to be found,
Chorus 2: (same chords)
When the spirits they need a-risin'
to be happy, proud and strong,
it's time to sing, it's time to sing,
sing a powerful song,
