Under the
D Em C Am D
water line
Em C Am D
No place to retire
Em C Am D
(Chords continue unabated)
To another time
The eyes of the world now turn
(Same chords , more strumming)
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me does our freedom remain
CHORUS:
Em Am C D
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
Em Am C D
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on
C Em C Em
And it happens to be an emergency
C D
Some things aren't meant to be
C D Am C
Some things don't come for free
(Let notes ring)

above the
...waterline
Point the finger yeah point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that
CHORUS
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong
And if happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
(Let notes ring)

C Em C Em
And it happens to be an emergency

C D
Some things aren't meant to be
Em D/F# Am G D/F# Em (Fine)
Some things don't come for free
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.
