D G Bm A The tucker box is empty now, the heart of Kelly's country cleared D A and the gangers on the southern line, F C like the steam trains have disappeared D G Bm A pelicans glide, miracles up in the sky D A F C we vote for a government with axes in its eyes Gm Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay Eb Bb F In the mountains of Burma, light years away Gm Mountains of Burma Will the sons of Solidarity still march on May Day Will the sisters of the seventies still fight for equal pay There's no one on the Reeperbahn No more blankets handed out for land We feed an economy thats got blood on its hands Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay In the mountains of Burma, light years away Mountains of Burma , the road to Mandalay In the mountains of Burma, hope you're light years away Dm A F C Pack your bags full of guns and ammunition Dm A F G Bills fall due for the industrial revolution Bb C Em Scorch the earth 'till the earth surrenders Soldiers of armies storm empty fields in a traveller's trance on the way to the high frontiers sleepwalkers stumble, cable cars run aground imaginary enemies from high above the clouds
