You're keeping everything together 
G                C    G 
Skin as thick as ironbark

You've been cut right down by life

As any blood that ever flowed

The cold hard steel of the axemans blow

Everything dead set against you

When life takes more than it presents you 
G                     C              G 
Sink those deep roots deeper down

Keep your iron soul alive

Circles tell the tale of living

Each ring spins it's tale of giving

You're everything that this world needs 

Em                         Am 
The cold hard steel of the axemans blow 
Em                       Am 
The winds of trouble and strife 
Em                            Am 
Won't bring you down for it's well you know 
Em               Am 
You were born to survive
