D5                    G5        B5                       A5 
  The tucker box is empty now,   the heart of Kelly's country cleared  
D5                           A5                                    
  and the gangers on the southern line, 
                F5                    C5 
  like the steam trains have disappeared 
               D5    G5    B5              A5 
  pelicans glide,                miracles up in the sky 
D5                   A5            F5           C5 
  we vote for a government with axes in its eyes 
 

                 G5  
    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay 
                        Eb5       Bb5            F5 
    In the mountains of Burma,   light years away 
                 G5 
    Mountains of Burma 
 
  Will the sons of Solidarity still march on May Day 

  Will the sisters of the seventies still fight for equal pay 

  There's no one on the Reeperbahn 

  No more blankets handed out for land 

  We feed an economy thats got blood on its hands 
 
    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay 

    In the mountains of Burma,   light years away 

    Mountains of Burma ,  the road to Mandalay 

    In the mountains of Burma,   hope you're light years away 
 

D5            A5             F5            C5  
  Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition 
D5            A5             F5             G5  
  Bills fall due for the industrial revolution 
Bb5            C5                         E5 
  Scorch the earth 'till the earth surrenders 
 
  Soldiers of armies storm empty fields 
  in a traveller's trance on the way to the high frontiers 
  sleepwalkers stumble, cable cars run aground 
  imaginary enemies from high above the clouds 
 
    In the Mountains of Burma
