BEDS ARE BURNING - Midnight Oil
Note: It's hard to play along with the original song, because Midnight Oil's
tuning is not exactly usual standard tuning.
Most of the song there's no guitar playing, but you can play along with these
chords as well. I would prefer power chords then.
Intro chords: E G A
Bass Riff (play over whole Verses and Pre-Chorus)

Verse 1: [Drums & Bass] (on E)
Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
Pre-Chorus: [Drums, Bass, Keys]
E D
The time has come, to say fair's fair
A E
To pay the rent, to pay our share
E D
The time has come, a fact's a fact
A F# (Guitar, single hit) E G A
It belongs to them, let's give it back
Chorus:
Em C G
How can we dance when our earth is turning
Em C D (Bass: slide up to D# at the end)
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
Ending:
Em C
The time has come to say fair's fair,
G D
to pay the rent now, to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
Pre-Chorus: [with little drum solo at the end]

The time has come, to say fair's fair
A E
To pay the rent, to pay our share
E D
The time has come, a fact's a fact
