I was born on McAdam Street,

Unlucky for some we were number 13,

Near the TAB there's a monument,

The concrete stands for the fallen men,

Every ANZAC day we get pissed for them,
F G C
I'm lucky I was born here
[Chorus]
G C
I was born here, I was born here,
F G C C/B Am
By a lucky twist of fate, I got to be bor-orn here,
F G
And I'm filled with national pride,
C C/B Am
I'm Aussie as, till I dinkum-die,
F G
Like Southern Cross thongs and french cricket on my lawn,
F G C
I'm lucky I was born here

I went to a school where they didn't charge fees,

When I, split my head they stitched it for free,

I was born here, I was born here,

Like, Vegemite toast and a hot Christmas morn',
F G C
I'm lucky I was born here

And I'm greatfull to the elders who taught me to see,

White Australia's got a black history,

We're not all that young, and we're all not that free,
F G C
We're lucky we were born here
[Chorus 3]
G C
I was born here, I was born here,
F G C C/B Am
By a lucky twist of fate, I got to be bor-orn here,
F G
Stop usin' my boarders like a prison gate,
C C/B Am
Stop usin' my flag like a symbol of hate,
F G
It's only dumb luck we were born this way,
F G Am
... Lucky, I was born, here
[Outro]
F G C
Lucky, to be born here
