Official MIDNIGHT OIL Tablature & Sheet Music »
Minutes to Midnight by Midnight Oil
from the album "Red Sails in the Sunset"
Am
Everybody say God is a good man
Am
Ah, clock on the world
Am
Driving a dumptruck up to the sun
Am
A sigh in the human heart
Am G D G
I look at the clock on the wall
Am G D G
It says three minutes to midnight
Am G D G
Faith is blind when we're so near
Am
Phar Lap floating in a jar
Am
Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies
Am
Truth gets harder to define
Am
Talking in tongues
Am G D G
But the dancer's hand grips the rail
Am G D G
And fingers will blister on the 88's
Am G D G
Hope drains out the side of the page
D
But ears can't hear
F
What eyes don't see
Cm (?) G/B
And you can't see me
Am - with solo: (played on a 12-string)

Am
Everybody say God is a good man
Am
Everybody say 1,2,3
Am
Set up those gunsights in H.G.Wells' backyard
Am
I.C.B.M.'s, S.S.20's, they lie so dormant, they got so many
Am G D G
Remember your childhood
Am G D G
Remember your journey
Am G D G
Hope is what you say and do
D
But ears can't hear
F
What eyes don't see
Cm (?)
And you can't see me
Am
D
But ears can't hear
F
What eyes don't see
D
But ears can't hear
F
What those eyes don't see
And you can't see me
End
p.s. I'm still not sure if that's a Cminor or a Cmajor?!

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.
