Beds Are Burning

	  		INTRO chords: 
        	E G A 
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:
