Biografía:
Midnight Oil era una banda de rock australiana reconocida por su característico sonido hard-rock, intensas presentaciones en vivo y su abierto activismo político.
"Burning the midnight oil" significa trabajar tarde en la noche, aludiendo a una lámpara de aceite. "Smells of the midnight oil" caracteriza poesía o prosa cargada con elaboradas alusiones literarias y vocabulario metafórico.
The Oils, como los conocen sus seguidores, comenzaron como una banda de rock progresivo llamada Farm a comienzos de los 70s

BEDS ARE BURNING - Midnight Oil
Note: It's hard to play along with the original song, because Midnight Oil's
tuning is not exactly usual standard tuning.
Most of the song there's no guitar playing, but you can play along with these
chords as well. I would prefer power chords then.

Out where the river broke
The blood wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty five degrees
[Pre-Chorus]
(Drums, Bass, Keys)
E D
The time has come, to say fair's fair
A E
To pay the rent, to pay our share

A F# (Guitar, single hit) E G A
It belongs to them, let's give it back
[Chorus]
Em C G
How can we dance when our earth is turning
Em C D (Bass: slide up to D# at the end)
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

[Bridge]

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degrees
