[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
[Chorus]
Em C G
How can we dance when our earth is turning
Em C D B/D#
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
Em C
The time has come to say fairs fair
G D
To pay the rent, now to pay our share
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
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
[Chorus]
Em C G
How can we dance when our earth is turning
Em C D B/D#
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
Em C
The time has come to say fairs fair
G D
To pay the rent, now to pay our share
