Tin-Legs and Tin Mines

#TIN LEGS AND TIN MINES
#By Midnight Oil
#From the "Real thing" album
#
#This is a very nice song from the Oils. The chord chart given down
#there for the verses is a transcription of the piano part.
#The guitar actually only plays a few arpeggios on the basis of
#these chords.
#
#
#Intro part
#The intro is made of two patterns, only changing the bass note.
#Let ring and listen to the CD to get the rythm right.
#The structure is the following :
#
#Pattern A (4 times)
#Patten B
#Pattern A (twice)
#Pattern B
#Pattern A (twice)
#Then into the first verse...

#Verse 1
#
B C#mCC#m2
I'm gonna wait for the moment to come
B C#m CC#m2
I'm gonna wait till we all stop from running
A E B7 B7*
Boxed in like candles, polar bear pride
A E
Turning to terror as the script is read out
B B7 B7** C#m A
Unwilling actors accomplished protractors will shout
B C#m CC#m2
I'm gonna wait till we reach the sky
B C#m CC#m2
Tin legs and tin mines, anyone cries
A E B7 B7*
Cry in the hope that there'll be tomorrow
A E
Waiting around there must be a time
B B7 B7**
Time to start thinking and working it out
C#m A Bm G
Come with me now, try with me now, when I'm laughing
Chorus
F G
Who's running the world today
F
Who's running the world today
GD
Verse 2
Chorus (play it how many times you want. Make sure you say about
anything to match Garret's inspired speech...)
Outro : repeat pattern A of intro
Special chords :
They are only used as variations on the basic chord
B7* 7 9 7 8 9 7
B7** 7 9 7 8 10 7
That's about the best I can do about this song.
All suggests and comments welcome.
