LYRICS:
[B]in the desert in the dry
before the breaking of the rain
the temperature in the shade
had reached a hu[Em]ndred and ten [C]aga[G]in[D]
[B]in the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line
don't take the law into your own hands
don't go l[Em]ooking for a fight[C] [G] [D]
[A]nah nah nah nah[A],
[B] I've heard the bullr[C#m]oarers[E]
(intro chords)
in the desert, in the dry
some sit so high
long day's mile and the
radio crackles and the b[Em]ones bleached white[C] [G] [D]
it's a knock-em-down storm
see the tin roof shake
wild dog howls and the long grass
whistles and the [Em]tall trees break[C] [G] [D]
[A]nah nah nah nah[A],
[B] I've seen the wild [C#m]horses[E]
I've heard the bullr[A]oarers
[B] I've seen the wild [C#m]horses[E]
