LYRICS:
B
in the desert in the dry
before the breaking of the rain
the temperature in the shade
Em C G D
had reached a hundred and ten again
B
in the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line
don't take the law into your own hands
Em C G D
don't go looking for a fight
A A
nah nah nah nah,
B C#m E
I've heard the bullroarers
[intro chords]
in the desert, in the dry
some sit so high
long day's mile and the
Em C G D
radio crackles and the bones bleached white
it's a knock-em-down storm
see the tin roof shake
wild dog howls and the long grass
Em C G D
whistles and the tall trees break
A A
nah nah nah nah,
B C#m E
I've seen the wild horses
A
I've heard the bullroarers
B C#m E
I've seen the wild horses

p.s. I play the B chord throughout the verse, muted with my right hand.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MIDNIGHT OIL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
