[Verse]
D G Bm A
The tucker box is empty now, the heart of Kelly's country cleared
D A
and the gangers on the southern line,
F C
like the steam trains have disappeared
D G Bm A
pelicans glide, miracles up in the sky
D A F C
we vote for a government with axes in its eyes
[Chorus]
Gm
Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay
Eb Bb F
In the mountains of Burma, light years away
Gm
Mountains of Burma
[Verse]
D
D G Bm A
Will the sons of Solidarity still march on May Day
D A F C
Will the sisters of the seventies still fight for equal pay
D G Bm
There's no one on the Reeperbahn
A
No more blankets handed out for land
D A F C
We feed an economy thats got blood on its hands
[Chorus]
Gm
Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay
Eb Bb F
In the mountains of Burma, light years away
Gm
Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay
Eb Bb F
In the mountains of Burma, hope you're light years away
[Bridge]
Dm A F C
Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition
Dm A F G
Bills fall due for the industrial revolution
Bb C Em
Scorch the earth 'till the earth surrenders
D
D G Bm A
Soldiers of armies storm empty fields
D A F C
in a traveller's trance on the way to the high frontiers
D G Bm A
sleepwalkers stumble, cable cars run aground
D A F C
imaginary enemies from high above the clouds
[Chorus]
Gm
And the Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay
Eb Bb F
In the mountains of Burma, light years away
Gm
Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay
Eb Bb F
In the mountains of Burma, hope you're light years away
