G#m Gmadd11
Heart and clock slows down...
C# C#7
And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound
G#m Gmadd11
On a diet of water and thick air
E7 C#dim7(/g)
I inhale the heat and exhale my share
G#m Gmadd11
Barometer's climbin' up their scales
C# E7
Heat shimmers and the horisont sails...
G#m Gmadd11
I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy
C# C#7 G#m C#m
But the waterhole-water looks like coffee! yeah!
G#m G#m C#m
Time stopped'n'heart slowed
G#m
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Chorus: (see tab below)
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
Down that dusty 3'rd world road...
G#m C#m G#m G#m C#m G#m
G#m Gmadd11
A# full 20 miles wide..
C# C#7
Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside...
G#m Gmadd11
And man starts to boil
E7 C#dim7(/g)
Can't help being born above a lake of oil
G#m Gmadd11
The distant battles don't shoot blanks
C# E7
- Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks
G#m Gmadd11
The long shadow used to read like poetry
C# C#7 G#m C#m
- Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee! yeah!
G#m G#m C#m
Time stopped'n'hearts slowed
G#m
Down that dusty 3'rd world road
(plays chorus-tab all through to the end)
Down-down-down that dusty road
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road...
- Walkin' thick-soled...
Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road
Yeah! Down!!
To the road turns to sand...
