Chord/Tab song: Minutes to Midnight

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] I lo[G]ok at the cl[D]ock on the w[G]all

It s[Am]ays three mi[G]nutes to m[D]idnight[G]

F[Am]aith is bl[G]ind when we'[D]re so n[G]ear

[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] But the danc[G]er's hand [D] grips the r[G]ail

And [Am]fingers will b[G]lister on the [D]88[G]'s

[Am]Hope drains o[G]ut the si[D]de of the p[G]age

But e[D]ars can't hear

What [F]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] Rem[G]ember your [D]childhoo[G]d

[Am] Rem[G]ember your [D]journ[G]ey

[Am]Hope is wh[G]at you s[D]ay and [G]do

But e[D]ars can't hear

What [F]eyes don't see

Cm (?)
And you can't see me

[Am]
But e[D]ars can't hear

What [F]eyes don't see

But ea[D]rs can't hear

What those e[F]yes 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?!
