Missy Higgins - Deep Red Dirt



Intro: C



           C       Am
There are men in white coats
         G                 F
holding clipboards biting pens.
           C         Am
There are mouths in news rooms
         G                F
moving excitedly for the lens.
G
the lens...




         C              F
And it's only a lesson long
            C                    F                   G
before the deep red dirt starts pulling pulling you home
            Am        C                        F
But you're fighting, fighting for where you belong
            G                   Am G
And that's pushing, pushing you on. 
    F          C
You on, you on.



Chords: C, Am, G, Am, G



            C         Am
There are ghosts in black suits
         G              F
making choices for the rest.
       C         Am
While piles of blueprints
       G                 F
are being passed over your head.
      G
your head...



          C             F
And it's only a lesson long
            C                    F                   G
before the deep red dirt starts pulling pulling you home.
            Am        C                       F
But you're fighting fighting for where you belong.
             G                  Am
And that's pushing, pushing you on.
 Bb                  Dm
Pushing, pushing you on.
 F                   G  Am  
Pushing, pushing you on.

Doot doot doo, doot doot doo, da-da-da

Doot doot doo, doot doot doo, da-da-da
       C        Am            G           F
Oh the air is electric with promises you never wanted.
       C        Am            G           F
Oh the air is electric with promises you never wanted.
C G Am F
Oooh



         C        Am
All the veins of silvery oil
   G                          F
under the soil are running through you.


Enjoy :)
