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                    Gb
it belongs to them, let's give it back

Interlude: 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                            Gb
it belongs to them, let's give it back

Interlude: 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 fair's fair;
   G                D
to pay the rent, to pay our share
    Em               C
The time has come, a fact's a fact;
   G                      D
it belongs to them, let's give it back


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