INTRO - eight bars
Verse 1 He’s a drover drifting over Western plains.
He’s a city lad, a clark down Flinders Lane.
They’re in the trenches at Lone Pine,
And on the Flanders’ firing line,
A willing band of ordinary men.
Chorus 1 (All) He’s all of them, he’s one of us,
Born beneath the Southern Cross
Side by side we say with pride
He’s all of them--
He is one of us--
Ooh whoa—-
Whoa—-
Whoa--
Verse 2 He’s a pilot on a midnight bombing raid.
He’s an able seaman on the Armidale.
Mm, she’s a nurse in Vietnam
They’re on patrol in Ur-uz-gan
(All) Sons and daughter rising to the call.
Chorus 2 She’s all of them, She’s one of us.
Born beneath the Southern Cross, whoa–
Side by side, we say with pride
She’s all of them--
She is one of us--
Ooh whoa—-
Whoa—-
Whoa--
Bridge The spirit of the ANZACs
Proud and strong
Spirit of the ANZACs
(All) Will live on and on— and on—-(key change)

Whoa--
They are one of us--

They are one of us--(count 12 beats/3 bars)
(Spoken - one voice) (over music) They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning we will remember them.
