  • Artist:

    Midnight Oil

Intro: 
E5  C5 x2 
 
E5                C5   
Who will march for peace  
E5          G5        D5              E5 
Now that the last of the diggers has gone  
E5                      C5 
All those who were released  
E5       G5         D5          A5 
From Suvla Bay and from the Somme  
                        G5 
The Mallee's whipped by sand  
A5        G5      D5             E5 
A great new silence blankets the land  
                       C5 
We sure need the Stone Age  
                 E5 
In the coming century  
 
Same for this verse.... 

Who will feed the poor  

Now that the saint of the gutters is gone  

Who will hear the call  

You lately come or native born  

For the touch of the master's hand  

The eye of the master still watches the lamb  

We sure need the Stone Age  

In the coming century  
 

    F5              C5   G5 
The last of the diggers  
    F5              C5   G5 
The last of the diggers  
    A5 
The last of the diggers  
    C5          G5          F5 
The last of the diggers has won  
Who gets sent to war  
Who'll lose a child to a foreign coast  
Who will leave our shore  
And come home rattling like a ghost  
This country can be cruel  
It'll leave you with scars that never heal  
We sure need the Stone Age in the coming century  
Still gonna need some Stone Age in the coming century
