Mountains Of Burma

D                    G        Bm                       A
  The tucker box is empty now,   the heart of Kelly's country cleared
D                           A
  and the gangers on the southern line,
                F                    C
  like the steam trains have disappeared
               D    G    Bm              A
  pelicans glide,                miracles up in the sky
D                   A            F           C
  we vote for a government with axes in its eyes

[Chorus]
                 Gm
    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay
                        Eb       Bb            F
    In the mountains of Burma,   light years away
                 Gm
    Mountains of Burma

[Verse]

D

D                     G            Bm        A
  Will the sons of Solidarity still march on May Day
D                     A                   F               C
  Will the sisters of the seventies still fight for equal pay
                        D           G     Bm
  There's no one on the Reeperbahn
                   A
  No more blankets handed out for land
D            A             F                C
  We feed an economy thats got blood on its hands

[Chorus]
                 Gm
    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay
                        Eb       Bb            F
    In the mountains of Burma,   light years away
                 Gm
    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay
                        Eb       Bb                      F
    In the mountains of Burma,   hope you're light years away

[Bridge]
Dm            A             F            C
  Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition

Dm            A             F             G
  Bills fall due for the industrial revolution

Bb            C                         Em
  Scorch the earth 'till the earth surrenders

D
D             G      Bm          A
  Soldiers of armies storm empty fields
D                  A             F               C
  in a traveller's trance on the way to the high frontiers
               D       G Bm            A
  sleepwalkers stumble, cable cars run aground
D           A            F              C
  imaginary enemies from high above the clouds

[Chorus]
                         Gm
    And the Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay
                        Eb       Bb            F
    In the mountains of Burma,   light years away
                 Gm
    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay
                        Eb       Bb                      F
    In the mountains of Burma,   hope you're light years away
