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.

[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
