VERSE 1:
Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
E E
The time has come
E D/E D/E
To say fair's fair
D/E A/E A/E
To pay the rent
A/E E E
To pay our share
E E
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
Em C G E
How can we dance when our earth is turning
Em C D B7
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
Em C G E
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
CHORUS:
END-CHORUS:
HALF of CHORUS:
then horn solo over end-chorus chords:
