(just strumming Em for the first verse)
There's a road train going nowhere
Roads are cut, lines are down
We'll be staying at the Roma bar
Till that monsoon passes on
Em                                           G     A    Em
The backbone of this country's broken
Em                                           G     A    Em
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Em                                           G     A    Em
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips
Em                                           D
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
Chorus
G      Dm
I hear much support for the monarchy
G          Dm              F
I hear the Union Jack's to remain,
G     Dm
I see Namatjira in custody
Am    Em             C
I see Truganini's in chains
Em                                           G     A    Em
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
Em                                           G     A    Em
You just go round and round in debt
Em                                           G     A    Em
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
Em                                           D
And I hope you're not beaten yet
Chorus 2x
(just strumming Em for the last part)
And the world won't stand still 3x
