Beds Are Burning

[Intro] E  G  A  E5

E5
Out where the river broke

The bloodwood and the desert oak

Holden wrecks and boling diesels

Steam in forty five degrees

E
The time has come
D
To says fair fair
A
To pay the rent
E5
To pay our share
E
The time has come
D
A fact's a fact
A
It belongs to them
F#                 E  G  A
Let's give it back

Em                                C        G
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
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
Em                                 C       D
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?

Four wheels scare the cockatoos

From Kintore East to Yuendemu

The western desert lives and breathes

In forty five degrees
