(E)Out where the river broke, the bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels, steam in forty five degrees

The (E)time has come, to (D)say fair's fair;
to (A)pay the rent, to (E)pay our share
The (E)time has come, a (D)fact's a fact;
it be(A)longs to them, let's (F#)give it back

(E)(G)(A)
      
(Em)How can we dance when our (C)earth is (G)turning?      
(Em)How do we sleep while our (C)beds are (D)burning?        
(Em)How can we dance when our (C)earth is (G)turning?
(Em)How do we sleep while our (C)beds are (D)burning?

The (Em)time has come to (C)say fairs fair,
to (G)pay the rent, now to (D)pay our share

(E)Four wheels scare the cockatoos, from Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes, in forty five degrees

The (E)time has come, to (D)say fair's fair;
to (A)pay the rent, to (E)pay our share
The (E)time has come, a (D)fact's a fact;
it be(A)longs to them, let's (F#)give it back

The (E)time has come, to (D)say fair's fair;

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord F#

    F# is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: F# ↔ A

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
