C (x32010@1)            FmA (133111@1)warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)               Em (022000@1)
The highways quiet scars across the land.
C (x32010@1)            FmPeople (133111@1)lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming,
G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)EmThe (022000@1)earth dies screaming. 

C (x32010@1)                     FmLike (133111@1)scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting,
G (320003@1)        Am (x02210@1)                  EmOilless (022000@1)engines seized by dirt and sand.
C (x32010@1)            Fm (133111@1)        
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding,
G (320003@1)     Am (x02210@1)EmThe (022000@1)earth dies screaming. 

CThe (x32010@1)earth dies screaming
FmThe (133111@1)earth dies screaming
G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)                    EmYour (022000@1)country needs you, lets strike up the band.

FmThe (133111@1)earth dies screaming
G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)                   EmDespite (022000@1)all odds we must defend our land. 

C (x32010@1)              FmHalf (133111@1)eaten meals lie rotting on the tables,
G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)       EmMoney (022000@1)clutched within a boney hand.
C (x32010@1)              FmShutters (133111@1)down, the banks are not receiving,
