BEDS ARE BURNING

Midnight Oil

INTRO chords: E(no 3rd) G A, then build up on E(no 3rd)

[E] Out where the river broke, The [G] bloodwood and the [A] desert oak
[E] Holden wrecks and boiling diesels, [G] Steaming forty-[A]-five degrees

[E] The time has come To say [D/E] fair's fair
To [A/E] pay the rent, To [E] pay our share
[E] The time has come, A [D/E] fact's a fact
It [A/E] belongs to them, Let's [F#] give it back

[Em] How can we dance when our [C] earth is [G] turning [E]
[Em] How do we sleep while our [C] beds are [D] burning [B/D#]
[Em] How can we dance when our [C] earth is [G] turning [E]
[Em] How do we sleep while our [C] beds are [D] burning
[Em] The time has come to [C] say fairs fair
to [G] pay the rent, now to [D] pay our share

[E] Four wheels scare the cockatoos, From [G] Kintore East to [A] Yuendemu
The [E] western desert lives and breathes, In [G] forty-five de-[A]-grees
[Em] How can we dance when our [C] earth is [G] turning [E]
[Em] How do we sleep while our [C] beds are [D] burning [B/D#]
[Em] How can we dance when our [C] earth is [G] turning [E]
[Em] How do we sleep while our [C] beds are [D] burning
[Em] The time has come to [C] say fairs fair
to [G] pay the rent, now to [D] pay our share
[Em] How can we dance when our [C] earth is [G] turning [E]
[Em] How do we sleep while our [C] beds are [D] burning [B/D#]
