D
In the morning we will wake up and take to the air
Bm
Look back at the planet - I'm glued to my chair
D
Southern half is burning as we climb through the sky
Bm D
Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high
D
There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains
Bm
And a hurricane is blowing and it turns once again
D
Now there's oil spills in the water where columbus once sailed
Bm
And there's history and mystery and it's rolling away
G D/F# G D/F# Em
I wish I could see this great mystery
Bm G D G D Em
Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, thin blue line
Bm G D G D
Earth and sun and moon, will survive
INTRO
Sediment is flowing from river to sea
Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen
An axe upon the broken ground, the sigh of the trees
And it's floating in the ether, it brings me to my knees
Too messed up to care, anyone got a wing and a prayer
Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, thin blue line
Earth and sun and moon, will survive
In the blink of an eye, thank you and good night
Earth and sun moon
etc...
p.s. this is what I am calling D/F#: (what's the proper name?!)

p.s. Jim Moginie wrote this one, as well as Warakurna. See any similarities?
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.
