LYRICS:
INTRO
D Dmaj7 D
E
by the time the luminous descent of the bright star unfolds
E D Dmaj7 D
and tablets of strangelove are shattered and bruised
E
by the time the oleander is falling from bloom
E D Dmaj7 D
and tears of the crocodile water the sun
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
C#m A
if ever you do
C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
E F#
if ever you do
A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
E B G D A E G
INTRO
E
by the time paradise alley is littered with rust
E D Dmaj7 D
and the arc of dayglo is curtained in gloom
E
by the time kidney bone cities are crumbling to dust
E D Dmaj7 D
and the empires and all of the emirated burn
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
C#m A
if ever you do
C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
C#m B
by the time you make up your mind
E F#
remember this too
A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
A B C#m
I hear the drums of heaven too
E B
ice on the mountain
G D
wind and the dust storm
A E
sails in the desert
G D
it's old and exploding
E B
seers and the prophets
G D
dramas of heaven
A E
attention groud control,
G D
there's someone coming down, I don't know who
etc...
INTRO
CHORUS until end.

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.
