[B] [E]
[Am] [D]
Top of box is [G] empty now, [Bm] Ida [A] Kelly's country clean
[D] The gangland's on the [A] southern line, like [F] the steam trains have [C] disappeared
Elephants [D] fly, [G] [Bm] miracles [A] up in the sky
[D] We've all got a [A] gun, [F] with axes in [C] its eyes
Mountains [G] of Burma
The road to Mandalay, in the mountains [Eb] of Burma
[Bb] [D] Light years away, [A] mountains [Gm] of Burma
[G] [D]
When the sons of [G] solidarity, [Bm] still march [A] on May Day
[D] And when the sisters [A] of the seventies, [F] still fight [C] for equal pay
There's no one [D] to reap above, [G] [Bm] nor a blank [A] standard alphabet
[D] We're feeding an [A] economy, [F] that's got blood on [C] its hands
Mountains [G] of Burma
The road to Mandalay, mountains [Eb] of Burma

[D]
Soldiers [G] of armies, [Bm] storm [A] empty fields
[D] Inner [A] travelers trance, [F] on the way to the high [C] frontier
If you sneak [D] one pistol below, [G]
[B] cable [A] cars run aground
[D] [A] Imaginary enemies, [F] form high above [C] the clouds
In the mountains [G] of Burma
The road [Gm] to Mandalay, in the mountains [G] of Burma
