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 
 
{intro chords} 
 
 
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
