Minutes to Midnight by Midnight Oil
from the album "Red Sails in the Sunset"
Am
Everybody say God is a good man
Am
Ah, clock on the world
Am
Driving a dumptruck up to the sun
Am
A sigh in the human heart
Am G D G
I look at the clock on the wall
Am G D G
It says three minutes to midnight
Am G D G
Faith is blind when we're so near
Am
Phar Lap floating in a jar
Am
Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies
Am
Truth gets harder to define
Am
Talking in tongues
Am G D G
But the dancer's hand grips the rail
Am G D G
And fingers will blister on the 88's
Am G D G
Hope drains out the side of the page
D
But ears can't hear
F
What eyes don't see
Cm (?) G/B
And you can't see me
Am - with solo: (played on a 12-string)

Am
Everybody say God is a good man
Am
Everybody say 1,2,3
Am
Set up those gunsights in H.G.Wells' backyard
Am
I.C.B.M.'s, S.S.20's, they lie so dormant, they got so many
Am G D G
Remember your childhood
Am G D G
Remember your journey
Am G D G
Hope is what you say and do
D
But ears can't hear
F
What eyes don't see
Cm (?)
And you can't see me
Am
D
But ears can't hear
F
What eyes don't see
D
But ears can't hear
F
What those eyes don't see
And you can't see me
End
p.s. I'm still not sure if that's a Cminor or a Cmajor?!
