Gm Gmadd11
Heart and clock slows down...
CC7
And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound
Gm Gmadd11
On a diet of water and thick air
Eb7 C#'7(/g)
I inhale the heat and exhale my share
Gm Gmadd11
Barometer's climbin' up their scales
CEb7
Heat shimmers and the horisont sails...
Gm Gmadd11
I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy
CC7GmCm
But the waterhole-water looks like coffee! yeah!
GmGmCm
Time stopped'n'heart slowed
Gm
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...
GmCmGmGmCmGmGm Gmadd11
A full 20 miles wide..
CC7
Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside...
Gm Gmadd11
And man starts to boil
Eb7 C#'7(/g)
Can't help being born above a lake of oil
Gm Gmadd11
The distant battles don't shoot blanks
CEb7
- Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks
Gm Gmadd11
The long shadow used to read like poetry
CC7GmCm
- Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee! yeah!
GmGmCm
Time stopped'n'hearts slowed
Gm
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...
