[Intro]

[Verse 1]
From exterminating guns in Van Dieman's land
She brought 'em into Hobart with the white man she trusted
Em
Robinson it was who never got flustered
He said I'll take you all over to Flinders Island
To civilize and Christianise you
You'll be safe
At Wybalenna
[Instrumental]
| C | C | Em | Em |
[Verse 2]
Well he promised them they'd all return some day
To their homelands that lay beyond the waves
But in the cold and the damp people started dying
Em
Robinson kept his journal tidy
He tried to replace their cultural ways
But all they had to show they'd been betrayed
Were tears
Tears of Wybalenna
C
Tears
Tears of Wybalenna
[Instrumental]
| C | C | Em | Em |
[Verse 3]
In 13 years a hundred of them died
Only 47 made it out alive
C
Robinson moved on to further his career
Leaving Truganini and her mob in constant fear
They were cast off down in Oyster Cove
C
Haunted by memoies they'll always own
Of the tears
Tears of Wybalenna
Oh the tears
Tears of Wybalenna
[Instrumental]
| C | C | Em | Em |
[Verse 4]
C
Colonisation spreads like a disease
The Imperial flag flaps lazy in the breeze
C
Horse sweat and leather, clink of iron and steel
Native people in chains, the suffering they still feel
All the sorrow in the world can be traced right back
To an invading force and the humanity they lack
It's the same
Tears of Wybalenna
It's the same
Tears of Wybalenna
[Instrumental]
| C | C | Em | Em |
[Verse 5]
C
Governments don't learn from their mistakes
They're still locking asylum seekers away
C
Desperate poor souls just wanna be safe
To escape from war and the misery it makes
And they languish in detention for many a long year
And their cries for justice fall on deaf ears
Like the tears
Tears of Wybalenna
Like the tears
Tears of Wybalenna
[Instrumental]
| C | C | Em | Em |
[Verse 6]
C
Flinders Island is a jewel in Bass Strait
Em
Hard to believe it was such a sad place
But to stand in the ruins of that lonely graveyard
Is to know where old people did it so hard
And the ground still holds their dear bones
Only wallabies and wombats over it roam
And you can feel
Tears of Wybalenna
You can feel
Tears of Wybalenna
