Minutes to Midnight by Midnight Oil
from the album "Red Sails in the Sunset"

Am
Everybody say God is a good man

Am
Ah, clock on the world

Am
Driving a dumptruck up to the sun

Am
A sigh in the human heart

Am G D G
I look at the clock on the wall

Am G D G
It says three minutes to midnight

Am G D G
Faith is blind when we're so near

Am
Phar Lap floating in a jar

Am
Seas full of submarines, A.W.A.C.'s like flies

Am
Truth gets harder to define

Am
Talking in tongues

Am G D G
But the dancer's hand grips the rail

Am G D G
And fingers will blister on the 88's

Am G D G
Hope drains out the side of the page

D
But ears can't hear

F
What eyes don't see

Cm (?) G/B
And you can't see me


Am - with solo: (played on a 12-string)

Am
Everybody say God is a good man

Am
Everybody say 1,2,3

Am
Set up those gunsights in H.G.Wells' backyard

Am
I.C.B.M.'s, S.S.20's, they lie so dormant, they got so many

Am G D G
Remember your childhood

Am G D G
Remember your journey

Am G D G
Hope is what you say and do

D
But ears can't hear

F
What eyes don't see

Cm (?)
And you can't see me

Am

D
But ears can't hear

F
What eyes don't see

D
But ears can't hear

F
What those eyes don't see


And you can't see me

End

p.s. I'm still not sure if that's a Cminor or a Cmajor?!
