(just strumming Em for the first verse)
There's a road train going nowhere
Roads are cut, lines are down
We'll be staying at the Roma bar
Till that monsoon passes on
Em G A Em
The backbone of this country's broken
Em G A Em
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Em G A Em
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips
Em D
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
Chorus
G Dm
I hear much support for the monarchy
G Dm F
I hear the Union Jack's to remain,
G Dm
I see Namatjira in custody
Am Em C
I see Truganini's in chains
Em G A Em
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
Em G A Em
You just go round and round in debt
Em G A Em
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
Em D
And I hope you're not beaten yet
Chorus 2x
(just strumming Em for the last part)
And the world won't stand still 3x
There's a road train going nowhere
Roads are cut, lines are down
We'll be staying at the Roma bar
Till that monsoon passes on
Em G A Em
The backbone of this country's broken
Em G A Em
The land is cracked and the land is sore
Em G A Em
Farmers are hanging on by their fingertips
Em D
We cursed and stumbled across that shore
Chorus
G Dm
I hear much support for the monarchy
G Dm F
I hear the Union Jack's to remain,
G Dm
I see Namatjira in custody
Am Em C
I see Truganini's in chains
Em G A Em
Blue collar work it don't get you nowhere
Em G A Em
You just go round and round in debt
Em G A Em
Somebody's got you on that treadmill, mate
Em D
And I hope you're not beaten yet
Chorus 2x
(just strumming Em for the last part)
And the world won't stand still 3x
