Midnight Oil
"Truganini"
Em (G A)
Em
There's a road train going nowhere G AEm
Roads are cut, lines are down G AEm
We'll be staying at the Roma bar G AEm
Till that monsoon passes on G AEm
The backbone of this country's broken G AEm
The land is cracked and the land is sore G AEm
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips G AEm
We cursed and stumbled across that shore D
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
And the world won't stand still .
And the world won't stand still...
Em
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere G AEm
You just go round and round in debt G AEm
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate G AEm
And I hope you're not beaten yet
