LYRICS:

Bin (x2444x@1)the desert in the dry

the temperature in the shade

Bin (x2444x@1)the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line

it's a knock-em-down storm
see the tin roof shake
wild dog howls and the long grass
                 Em (022000@1)            C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G   Dwhistles (xx0232@1)and the tall trees break

etc...

p.s.  I play the B chord throughout the verse, muted with my right hand.

p.p.s. there's a little solo-thing in a couple of the verses... here it is:

G-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|--2----4-5---0----2----232---0----2----4-5---0-----------------|

and at the end:

e-|---------------------------|
B-|---------------------------|
G-|--2-4-2--------------------|
D-|--------4-0---0-2-0--------|
A-|--------------------4-2----|
E-|---------------------------|

then:
