Song: Beds Are Burning
by:   Midnight Oil

[intro:]  / E G A /  {whole band}
            E        {drums and Bass Riff}

[verse:1]
E
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
      E5
The time has come
    D/E   
To say fair's fair
    A/E 
To pay the rent
    E     
To pay our share
     E5
The time has come
   D/E   
A fact's a fact
     A/E   
It belongs to them
       F#   
Let's give it back

/ E G A /

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

8 X [ E ]   {trumpets}

[verse:2]
E
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
      E5
The time has come
    D/E 
To say fair's fair
    A/E  
To pay the rent
    E
To pay our share
      E5
The time has come
    D/E 
A fact's a fact
     A/E  
It belongs to them
       F#      {let ring}
Let's give it back
