LYRICS:
B
in the desert in the dry
before the breaking of the rain
the temperature in the shade
                Em            C  G   D
had reached a hundred and ten again
B
in the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line
don't take the law into your own hands
          Em                 C G   D
don't go looking for a fight
A              A
nah nah nah nah,
B                     C#m              E
  I've heard the bullroarers

in the desert, in the dry
some sit so high
long day's mile and the
                        Em                  C G   D
radio crackles and the bones bleached white
it's a knock-em-down storm
see the tin roof shake
wild dog howls and the long grass
                 Em              C G   D
whistles and the tall trees break
A              A
nah nah nah nah,
B                    C#m              E
  I've seen the wild horses
                    A
I've heard the bullroarers
B                    C#m              E
  I've seen the wild horses
