LYRICS:

Bin (x2444x@1)the desert in the dry
before the breaking of the rain
the temperature in the shade

                Em (022000@1)          C (x32010@1)G (320003@1) Dhad (xx0232@1)reached a hundred and ten again

Bin (x2444x@1)the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line
don't take the law into your own hands

          Em (022000@1)               C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G   Ddon't (xx0232@1)go looking for a fight

A (x02220@1)            Anah (x02220@1)nah nah nah,

[intro chords]


in the desert, in the dry
some sit so high
long day's mile and the
                        Em (022000@1)                C (x32010@1)name="chord_320003@1">G   Dradio (xx0232@1)crackles and the bones bleached white


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


A (x02220@1)            Anah (x02220@1)nah nah nah,

B (x2444x@1)                  C#m (x13321@4)            E (022100@1) I've seen the wild horses

                    AI've (x02220@1)heard the bullroarers

B (x2444x@1)                  C#m (x13321@4)            E (022100@1) I've seen the wild horses

[Intro chords]  x4

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:

e-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|--2----4-5---0----2----232---0----2----4-5---0-----------------|
E-|-----------------2---------------2-----------------------------|

and at the end:

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

then:

e-|----------------------------------------------|
B-|----------------------------------------------|
G-|----------------------------------------------|
D-|----------------------------------------------|
A-|--4--0-----4-0----2----4-5-4-0----2----232----|
E-|--------2-----202-------------202-------------|  etc...
