VERSE 1:

Out where the river broke

The bloodwood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boiling diesels

Steam in forty five degrees

To say fair's fair

D/E A/E A/E

To pay the rent

A/E E E

To pay our share

The time has come

E D/E D/E

A fact's a fact

D/E A/E A/E

It belongs to them

A/E F#

Let's give it back

CHORUS: (little riff)

Em C G E -----3--3--3--5----3

How can we dance when our earth is turning

Em C D B/D#

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Em C G E -----3--3--3--5----3

How can we dance when our earth is turning

Em C D

How do we sleep while our beds are burning

END-CHORUS:

Em C

The time has come to say fairs fair

G D

to pay the rent, now to pay our share

LAST VERSE:

Four wheels scare the cockatoos

>From Kintore East to Yuendemu

The western desert lives and breathes

In forty five degrees
