Well, listen to the song and you know what I mean.

EARTH AND SUN AND MOON - Midnight Oil



H A gis A H H



        E

In the morning we will wake up and take to the air

                                           cis

Look back at the planet - I'm glued to my chair

 E

Southern half is burning as we climb through the sky

                                         cis    E

Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high



             E

There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains

                                               cis

And a hurricane is blowing and it turns once again

            E

Now there's oil spills in the water where columbus once sailed

                                                   cis

And there's history and mystery and it's rolling away





E A cis                  E A cis               fis

         I wish I could see    this great mystery

 E         A       E      A     E      A         E A

Earth and sun and moon - human tribe, thin blue line

 E         A       E      A       E      H A gis A H H

Earth and sun and moon - will survive





(same chords)

Sediment is flowing from river to sea



Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen



An axe upon the broken ground, the sigh of the trees



And it's floating in the ether, it brings me to my knees







        Too messed up to care,   anyone got a wing and a prayer



Earth and sun and moon - human tribe, thin blue line



Earth and sun and moon - will survive







        In the blink of an eye,  thank you and good night





Earth and sun...
