A D A fis D E A
A D A fis A D A D
A D A fis
Won't you come on down the line
D E A
Away from barren ground
A D A fis
The harlot and the autocrat
D E A
Are they driving you further down
E fis h fis
The season's rhymes, they anchor me
D h
Against the raging tide
A D A fis
Take you to the last wild place
D E A
Skin and the stars they embrace
A D A fis
A caveman could a saint become
D E A
In a hospital ward on the Somme
E fis h fis
We can dive into distant amoebas
D h fis E fis E
Our wings could melt in the sun
CHORUS
fis E
I can shake
fis G
I can move
fis h fis E
But I can't live without your love
fis E
I can break
fis G
Over you
fis h fis D fis D fis E
But I can't live without your love
A D A fis
Our poet Henry Lawson he named them
D E A
The lay 'em out brigade
A D A fis A D A D
Here they come there they go
A D A fis
Oh great god of development
D E A
Don't really know you yet
A D A fis
Coastline hosed down washed away
D E A
Economics, now there's nothing left
E fis h fis
Tomorrow's child takes concrete footsteps
D h D A A E
And they'll drink champagne or be damned
D A E
And the storm is breaking now
D A E
Yeah the storm is breaking now
D A E
Yes the storm is breaking now
CHORUS
CHORUS
(intro part)
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.
