Minutes to Midnight Midnight Oil
Minutes to Midnight by Midnight Oil
from the album "Red Sails in the Sunset"
[Am] Everybody say God is a good man
[Am] Ah, clock on the world
[Am]Driving a dumptruck up to the sun
[Am] A sigh in the human heart
[Am] I lo[G]ok at the cl[D]ock on the w[G]all
It s[Am]ays three mi[G]nutes to m[D]idnight[G]
F[Am]aith is bl[G]ind when we'[D]re so n[G]ear
[Am]Phar Lap floating in a jar
[Am]Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies
[Am]Truth gets harder to define
[Am] Talking in tongues
[Am] But the danc[G]er's hand [D] grips the r[G]ail
And [Am]fingers will b[G]lister on the [D]88[G]'s
[Am]Hope drains o[G]ut the si[D]de of the p[G]age
But e[D]ars can't hear
What [F]eyes don't see
Cm (?) G/B
And you can't see me
Am - with solo: (played on a 12-string)

[Am] Everybody say God is a good man
[Am] Everybody say 1,2,3
[Am] Set up those gunsights in H.G.Wells' backyard
[Am] I.C.B.M.'s, S.S.20's, they lie so dormant, they got so many
[Am] Rem[G]ember your [D]childhoo[G]d
[Am] Rem[G]ember your [D]journ[G]ey
[Am]Hope is wh[G]at you s[D]ay and [G]do
But e[D]ars can't hear
What [F]eyes don't see
Cm (?)
And you can't see me
[Am]
But e[D]ars can't hear
What [F]eyes don't see
But ea[D]rs can't hear
What those e[F]yes don't see
And you can't see me
[End]
p.s. I'm still not sure if that's a Cminor or a Cmajor?!
