    Last Of The Diggers

  • Artist:

    Midnight Oil

Intro: 
Em  C x2 
 
Em                C   
Who will march for peace  
Em          G        D              Em 
Now that the last of the diggers has gone  
Em                      C 
All those who were released  
Em       G         D          Am 
From Suvla Bay and from the Somme  
                        G 
The Mallee's whipped by sand  
Am        G      D             Em 
A great new silence blankets the land  
                       C 
We sure need the Stone Age  
                 Em 
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  
 

    F              C   G 
The last of the diggers  
    F              C   G 
The last of the diggers  
    Am 
The last of the diggers  
    C          G          F 
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
