Lyrics and Chords


[ E5 =  ]

Intro: / EGA x E5 - / 
        
Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

/ E5 - / / / /

{Bridge}
The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, let's give it back

/ E - D - / A - E - / E - D - / A - F# - / EGA x /

{Refrain}
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

/ Em C G - / Em C D - / 1st / 2nd /

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share

/ Em C / G D - Em - Em7 - /

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees

{Bridge}

{Refrain}

The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

/ Em C / G D / Em C / G D - /

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

/ Em C G - / Em C D - / 
   / Em C G D Em C G D - / EGA x EGA /
