Bullroarer Lyrics
by Midnight Oil
Bullroarer by Midnight Oil
from the album "Diesel and Dust"
INTRO and VERSE chord sequence:
CHORUS:
A B C#m (with E at the very end)
LYRICS:
in the desert in the dry
before the breaking of the rain
the temperature in the shade
had reached a hundred and ten again
in the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line
don't take the law into your own hands
don't go looking for a fight
nah nah nah nah,
I've heard the bullroarers
(intro chords)
in the desert, in the dry
some sit so high
long day's mile and the
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
whistles and the tall trees break
nah nah nah nah,
I've seen the wild horses
I've heard the bullroarers
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:
and at the end:
then:
E-|--------2-----202-------------202-------------| etc...
