Midnight Oil - Koala Sprint Tabs

(Tabbed for 2 Guitars)

And out from the echoes of the night 
Concrete caverns catch the sky and hold the stars to ransom 
 	A thousand dreams, it's getting late 
	Thousand runners standing still 
I can smell the sand and sea again
I've had enough away
 	City times down down, I've got to go 
Lord don't let me wait, Stay low 
			Am					Bb		Dm 
'Cause I'm going up north again
