Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
 (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...
