PUT DOWN THAT WEAPON by Midnight Oil

This is one of the Oil's absolute classics, especially the video with
the close up of Peter Garrett belting out the chorus. Enjoy playing
along to this, I especially like the catchy riff at the start. Comments
and corrections are most welcome.

          D     Em     C     Am     D
Under the water line
   Em         C         Am         D
No place to retire
   Em         C         Am         D
To another time
    Em          C         Am      D
The eyes of the world now turn

And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the skies go dark with rain
Can you tell me does our freedom remain

CHORUS:
Em                     Am        C      D  
Put down that weapon   or we'll all be gone
Em                     Am        C          D  
You can't hide nowhere with the torchlight on

       C          Em      C     Em
And it happens to be an emergency
     C                      D
Some things aren't meant to be
     C            D        Am        C
Some things don't come for free

VERSE 2:
Above the waterline
Point the finger yeah point the bone
It's the harbour towns
That the grey metal ships call home
And if we think about it
And if we talk about it
And if the sea goes boiling black
Can you tell me what you'll do about that

CHORUS
Put down that weapon or we'll all be gone
I must know something to know it's so wrong

And if happens to be an emergency
Some things aren't meant to be
Some things don't come for free
