Artist: Midnight Oil Album: Diesel And Dust Song: Beds Are Burning Copyright: CBS, 1987 Tab: Alexander Westers e-mail infernal_purge@hotmail.com Tuning: Standard bass tuning Note that the bass line in the verse looks and sounds awkward. But it is the version that Bones Hillman played in all his concerts with the Oils (at least those I know) and he's not messing it up every concert. If you listen very well, you hear it on the CD too. Check the 1993 MTV Unplugged version to see and hear what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJiwLOUJOMA (0:18-0:23) [Fill 1] G|------------ D|------------ A|------------ E|-0---3----5- ------|
