Yorta Yorta Man

        Yorta Yorta Man ā?? Jimmy Little


Verse 1
        D
        I was born, on the banks, of the Murray,
              Bm                           Em    A
        Yorta Yorta, is my Mothers, tribal land.
        A       D                           
        Iā??m her son, but my fatherā??s name, I carry,
             Bm                 Em         A       D
        as I walk, through this great, and ancient land.

Verse 2
        D
        My father, taught me all the things, I needed,
              Bm                         Em    A
        like identity, and dignity, with love.
        A        D                               
        From his southern, tribal, coastal ways, of living,
                Bm               Em        A     D
        Wallaga lake, and Gulaga Mountain, high above.

Chorus:
        D     Bm                          F#
        Iā??m a Koori, and I come from, Cummeragunja,
                 Bm                         F# 
        where my people and my dreaming all began.
            Bm              A           D                               
        Someday I know that I will be returning,
                 Em           A           D
        like the legend of my tribal boomerang.

Verse 3
Spoken: if you wish to sing this verse, omit words in brackets
        D
        My tribal ways are strong, and not forgotten,
                        Bm                                    Em     A
        Though all my city ways of living,well they maybe grand.
        A       D
        But you know, I could pack it up, yes and leave it, all tomorrow,
               Bm          Em     A     D
Sing:   and go back, to my Yorta, Yorta land.

Verse 4
        D
        The nature, of the bush, in all its beauty,
                 Bm                            Em     A
        gives me strength, in my will, to understand.
        A       D                           
        That no matter, where I go, my river people,
                Bm                Em     A     D
        will be waiting, for this Yorta, Yorta Man.

Spoken: Join me.

Chorus:
        D     Bm                           F#
Sing:   Iā??m a Koori, and I come from, Cummeragunja,
                 Bm                           F# 
        where my people, and my dreaming, all began.
            Bm          A           D
        Someday I know,   Iā??ll be returning,
                 Em            A            D     Bm
        Like the legend, of my tribal, boomerang,
                 Em            A            D     Bm
        Like the legend, of my tribal, boomerang,
                 Em            A            D   
Fade:   Like the legend, of my tribal, boomerang.
