Bm D
High above the mangrove down Burrgoogoon hunting for my family
Bm D
You know the tide right , just look at the moon
Bm D
Yellow wattle flower smell 'em, tell 'em that the mullet must be fat today
Bm A
Sliding in, glide on the wind of the late afternoon --> CHORUS
Bm D
Local fisherman gotta bagful, gotta big gang plenty mouth to feed
Bm D
Man with the badge say hey you you’re breaking the rules
Bm
Don’t care what your rule is you know thousand politicians couldn't
D
change my ways
Bm A
My law is the sea and pull of the sun and the moon
D
My land by the water , my land by the waterside
Jiir, milgin-ngurru
Feeding on the rising tide
