Standard (EADGBE)

Heart and clock slows down...

And the sand reverberates with a tremelous sound

On a diet of water and thick air

I inhale the heat and exhale my share

Barometer's climbin' up their scales

Heat shimmers and the horisont sails...

I wouldn't know 'bout the governments policy

But the waterhole-water looks like coffee! yeah!

Time stopped'n'heart slowed

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Chorus

(see tab below)

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

Down that dusty 3'rd world road...

A full 20 miles wide..

Lies glowin' pebbles'n'nothing beside...

And man starts to boil

Can't help being born above a lake of oil

The distant battles don't shoot blanks

- Soon it's goodbye'n'many tanks

The long shadow used to read like poetry

- Now the waterhole-water looks like coffee! yeah!

Time stopped'n'hearts slowed

Down that dusty 3'rd world road

(plays chorus-tab all through to the end)

Down-down-down that dusty road

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road...

- Walkin' thick-soled...

Down-down-down that dusty 3'rd world road

Yeah! Down!!

To the road turns to sand...

Chorus
