[Intro 1]
[D][F][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Out where the river broke,
the bloodwood an[G]d the d[D]esert oak
Holdin' ricks and boilin' diesels,
steamin' 45 degrees
The time has come,
to say it's [Gsus4]fair,[G]
[C]to [G]pay[D] th[G]e rent,[Gsus4]
[G]to [D]pay[G] ou[D]r share
The time has come, all the facts are fact,
it belongs to them,
let's [E]give it back, come [D]on
[F]I s[G]aid, how [D]do we d[Dm]ance
while the [Bb]earth is [F]turning?
[Dm]How do we sleep
while our [Bb]beds are [C]burning?
[A]How[Dm] do we dance
while the [Bb]earth is [F]turning?
[Dm]How do we sleep
while our [Bb]beds are [C]burning?
You [Gsus4]know the time[Dm] has come
to [Bb]save this bear,
to [F]pay the rent,
now to [Gsus4]pay our s[C]hare[D].
For we'll scare the cockatoos,
from Kentucky to Andamoo.
The western desert lives and
breathes in 45 degrees
I said the time has come
to save fast [Gsus4]fare[G][Gsus4]
[G]To pay the rent, I sai[D]d to pay our sha[G]re
[D]The time has come,
[G]facts [Gsus4]are facts[F],[G][F]
[G]it [Gsus4]belongs to [G]them,
let's [E]give it [G]back[D][G]
[D]I s[F]aid[G] how do [Dm]we dance
while the [Bb]earth is [F]turning?
[Dm]How do we sleep
while our [Bb]beds are burn[C]in'
[A]How [Dm]do we dance
while our [Bb]earth is turn[F]in'
Oh, [Dm]how do we sleep
while our [Bb]beds are [C]burnin'?
You [Gsus4]know the time[Dm] has come
to [Bb]save this fair
To [F]pay the rent, yeah, to [C]pay our share
The [Dm]time has come, a [Bb]fact's a fact
It be[F]longs to them,
we're gonna [C]give it back
I said, [Dm]how do we dance
while the [Bb]earth is [F]turning?
[Gsus4]How do we[Dm] sleep
while our [Bb]beds are [C]burning?[A]
[Dm]How do we dance
while the [Bb]earth is [F]turning?[Dm][Bb][C]
I said the [Dm]time has come to [Bb]save as fair,
to [F]pay the rent, not to [Gsus4]pay our share
The [Dm]time has come, a [Bb]fact's a fact
It be[F]longs to them,
we're gonna [C]give it back
