Beds Are Burning

[Intro] E  G  A

E
Out where the river broke, the bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels, steam in forty five degrees

    E                            D
The time has come, to say fair's fair
   A                E
To pay the rent, to pay our share
    E                         D
The time has come, a fact's a fact
     A                    F#
It belongs to them, let's give it back

( E  G  A )

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                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

E
Four wheels scare the cockatoos, from Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes, in forty five degrees

    E                            D
The time has come, to say fair's fair
   A                E
To pay the rent, to pay our share
    E                         D
The time has come, a fact's a fact
     A                     F#
It belongs to them, let's give it back
