Midnight Oil – Beds Are Burning chords
Chords:
BEDS ARE BURNING - Midnight Oil Note: It's hard to play along with the original song, because Midnight Oil's tuning is not exactly usual standard tuning. Most of the song there's no guitar playing, but you can play along with these chords as well. I would prefer power chords then.
