1st verse:
E                E
 Out where the river broke
    E                 E
The bloodwood and the desert oak
E                 E
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
 E             E
Steam in forty five degrees

Four wheels scare the cockatoos

The western desert lives and breathes

In forty five degrees
