LYRICS:
D A D F#
F# F#7 F# F#7
I believe we're crossing a great ravine
F# E
still yearning, half-way a stranger
F# F#7 F# F#7
I believe in our multiplicity
F# E
still part-blind, no reason for anger
A D G
so why don't you tell me
A D G
why don't you tell me
A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
D A D F#
F# F#7 F# F#7
tyranny crushing the young bird's seed
F# E
hallowe'en's mate short fuse of the banker
F# F#7 F# F#7
I can see vaseline, you smeared it across every scene
F# E
the anchorman drowns in a sea of sensation
F#
I thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times
E
but I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on
A D G
so why don't you tell me
A D G
why don't you tell me
A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
A D G
why don't you tell me
A D G
why don't you tell me
A F# E B F# F#m
why don't you tell me the truth about you
D A D A
about you, about you
[D A 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.
