BEDS ARE BURNING - Midnight Oil
Note: It's hard to play along with the original song, because Midnight Oil's
tuning is not exactly usual standard tuning.
Most of the song there's no guitar playing, but you can play along with these
chords as well. I would prefer power chords then.

Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees

To pay the ren

(Drums & Bass)
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
[Pre-Chorus]

The time has c
