Biography:
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, also sometimes known as Rolling Blackouts C.F., is an Australian indie rock band. They formed in Melbourne in 2013 by three singer-guitarists: Fran Keaney, Tom Russo & Joe White. Playing bright, energetic indie rock with lively guitar lines, sharp hooks, and dry wit, the Australian quintet turn the clock back to the glory days of '80s jangle pop, but give the sound a tough, no-nonsense attitude.

[Intro]
D C G Em x2
[Verse]
D C G Em
I said, "I'm just a servant to my base desires"
D C G Em
She said, "I'll tell you a few things, free of charge:
D C G Em
Steer clear of jagged rock, tread careful at the higher level
D C G Em D C G Em
This ain't no game, but you can play if that's what you want"
D C G Em
D C G Em
Then she said, "We are just paper boats bobbing adrift afloat
D C G Em
While winds of fortune shove us where they will"
D C G Em
Woke up coughing on the shore, cold outcrop broken, sore
D C G Em
Back on the mainland, the chimps were coming up trumps
[Chorus]
A C
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
G A
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
C G
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
A C
Back on the mainland, back on the mainland
G Em
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
D C G Em
On golden sand
D C G Em
[Verse]
D C G Em
We stared into the haze, ocean merging with sky
D C G Em
And talked about the land of our fore-mothers
D C G Em
Now that we've shut the gate, it would be funny if it
D C G
Didn't make you want to cry
Em
This is just the bed we've woken up in
[Chorus]
A C
And all I saw was burning blue fading into blinding white
G A
Wade out past the rotting pier, out to the open water
C G
Son of a red roof city, and her, the full moon's daughter
A C
Back on the mainland, back on the mainland
G A
Cool change was rolling over, black sky was getting lower
C G
Green dreams were folding over, as we sailed off the mainland
[Solo]
A C G x4
A C
Never coming off the line
G
Wake up feeling fine
A
Her eyes under pale moonlight
C
Far corner of the earth
G
Tripping up on the edge
A C G
Big impossible now
[repeat through fade out]
