[Intro]
D Dsus4 D G D

[Verse 1]
A D
Times were hard in old Swan Hill
G D A
And her circumstances got harder still
D D7 G
The only thing this woman ever knew was pain
D A D G D
It seemed she’d never know sweet happiness again

[Verse 2]
A D
Kicked around, treated bad
G D A
It’s not right for one so young to be so sad
D D7 G
A koori child should not have had this cross to bear
D A D
It makes me wonder if anybody really cares

[Refrain 1]
D A
Troubled woman is your name
A D
Through no fault of yours it seems you always got the blame
D A
And an old man’s voice calls from afar
A7 D G D
Who will shed a tear for Munjana?

[Verse 3]
A D
Fond memories of Moulamein
G D A
The only happy times her family had seen
D D7 G
Wishing that those happy times would never end
D A D
With Uncle John who at the time was their best friend

[Verse 4]
A D
But this young girl just couldn’t win
G D A
She got in to trouble in Deniliquin
D D7 G
Had a lovely child way down in old Fitzroy
D A D
Then the Welfare came and took her baby boy

[Refrain 2]
