Fools and Angels - Peter Bowen (March 2015)
ACF D C D [Dm7] [Em7]
EF D E D [Dm7] [Em7]
[Dm7] [Em7]
Soaring like an eagle; Qantas up to Broome
Great Sandy Desert far below; waiting to consume
Muted pastel, red and brown; Terra firma theme
From 30,00 feet above; A Namatjira dream
Chorus1
[Gm] But down there on the [Dm] bedrock
[C] It’s as hot as [Dm] hell
[Gm] A land where fools and [Bb] angels dare not [A7] dwell
ACF D C D [Dm7] [Em7]
EF D E D [Dm7] [Em7]
[Dm7] [Em7]
Dusty, serpent waterways; Remnants of an inland sea
Eerie bloodwoods gnarled in pain; pray for rain and clemency
But out there in the distance; stands a man alone
Martu on a walkabout; this land is his home
Chorus 2
[Gm] Down there on the [Dm] bedrock
[C] It’s as hot as [Dm] hell
An [Gm] ancient land, his [Bb] people know so [A7] well
Lead over a verse
Chorus1
[Gm] Down there on the [Dm] bedrock
[C] It’s as hot as [Dm] hell
[Gm] A land where fools and [Bb] angels dare not [A7] dwell
[Dm7] [Em7]
Connection with the land; Nomadic harmony
Terra Nullus scam; White Man tyranny
Sacred spirit stand; Rainbow Serpent plea
“Lifestyle” reprimand; Remote community
Will they ever understand? Dreamtime eulogy
Connection with the land
Connection with the la...nd
[C][Dm]
