Yandoit from Yandoit by James Brook

Yandoit

Em D
Driving down the red dirt road
To the
Farm by the trees
Moonlight on the frosty hills yeah
There’s nobody near
C D
Kangaroos fight on the horizon
Heads are thrown back
Heads are thrown into the night
Like their necks are broken

Em D
Light the fire
Where they lived a century ago
Cockatoos rats and termites
Scratch as we doze
C D
Dreams of Dja Dja Warung people in the
Goldfields war
Heads are thrown back
Heads are thrown back
They kick and claw
Into the night
Like their necks are broken
Like their necks are broken

D C x 3

D C G D
These hills were dug and sifted for all the
Gold and crystal mines
From ships of wood and canvas they came
From Europe China Eire
Cut the wood with axe and saw
To feed the steam machinery fires
Working till your backs in pain
Years gone from your life

Em D
The mob is bounding across the hills to the
Highway crossing there
Joey’s paws are sticking out from his
Mum’s fresh road kill
C D
Dust devils on the horizon
No rain will fall
Heads are thrown back
Heads are thrown back
They kick and claw
Into the night
Em D
Like their necks are broken
Like their necks are broken
Like their necks are broken
Like their necks are broken
