Missy Higgins – Deep Red Dirt (Guitar)

           C       Am
There are men in white coats

         G                 F
holding clipboards biting pens.

           C         Am
There are mouths in news rooms

         G                F
moving excitedly for the lens.

G
the lens...

         C              F
And it's only a lesson long

            C                    F                   G
before the deep red dirt starts pulling pulling you home

            Am        C                        F
But you're fighting, fighting for where you belong

            G                   Am G
And that's pushing, pushing you on. 

    F          C
You on, you on.

            C         Am
There are ghosts in black suits

         G              F
making choices for the rest.

       C         Am
While piles of blueprints

       G                 F
are being passed over your head.

      G
your head...

          C             F
And it's only a lesson long

            C                    F                   G
before the deep red dirt starts pulling pulling you home.

            Am        C                       F
But you're fighting fighting for where you belong.

             G                  Am
And that's pushing, pushing you on.

 Bb                  Dm
Pushing, pushing you on.

 F                   G  Am  
Pushing, pushing you on.

G              Am              Am  G
Doot doot doo, doot doot doo, da-da-da 

F
Doot doot doo, doot doot doo, da-da-da

       C        Am            G           F
Oh the air is electric with promises you never wanted.

       C        Am            G           F
Oh the air is electric with promises you never wanted.

C G Am F
Oooh

         C        Am
All the veins of silvery oil

   G                          F
under the soil are running through you.
