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]
The Etime has come, to Dsay fair's fair
To Apay the rent, to Epay our share
The Etime has come, a Dfact's a fact
It beAlongs to them, let's F#giv
Chorus:
(Guitar,
e it backsingle
hit)
E G AEmHow can we dance when our Cearth is turningG
Em C D (Bass: slide up to D# at the end)
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
EmHow can we dance when our Cearth is turningG
EmHow do we sleep while our Cbeds are burningD
Ending:
The Emtime has come to say fair's Cfair,
to Gpay the rent now, to Dpay our share

Verse 2: [Drums & Bass]
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 Etime has come, to Dsay fair's fair
To Apay the rent, to Epay our share
The Etime has come, a Dfact's a fact
