E  Out where the river broke
   The bloodwood and the desert oak
   Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
   Steam in 45 degrees

E  The time has come
D  To say fair's fair
A  To pay the rent
E  To pay our share
E  The time has come
D  A fact's a fact
A  It belongs to them
F# Let's give it back (456) E G A (234)

  From Kintore east to Yuendemu
  The western desert lives and breathes
