  LYRICS:

  

  B

  in the desert in the dry

  before the breaking of the rain

  the temperature in the shade

  

                  Em            C  G   D

  had reached a hundred and ten again

  

  B

  in the desert in the dry

  on the overland telegraph line

  don't take the law into your own hands

  

            Em                 C G   D

  don't go looking for a fight

  

  A              A         

  nah nah nah nah, 

  

  B                     C#m              E

    I've heard the bullroarers

  

  [intro chords]

  

  

  in the desert, in the dry

  some sit so high

  long day's mile and the

                          Em                  C G   D

  radio 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              C G   D

  whistles and the tall trees break

  

  

  A              A         

  nah nah nah nah, 

  

  B                    C#m              E

    I've seen the wild horses

  

                      A    

  I've heard the bullroarers

  

  B                    C#m              E

    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...
