CHORUS:
A B C#m (with E at the very end)
LYRICS:
B
in the desert in the dry
before the breaking of the rain
the temperature in the shade
Em C G D
had reached a hundred and ten again
B
in the desert in the dry
on the overland telegraph line
don't take the law into your own hands
Em C G D
don't go looking for a fight
A A
nah nah nah nah,
B C#m E
I've heard the bullroarers
[intro chords]
in the desert, in the dry
some sit so high
long day's mile and the
Em C G D
radio crackles and the bones bleached white
it's a knock-em-down storm
see the tin roof shake
wild dog howls and the long grass
Em C G D
whistles and the tall trees break
A A
nah nah nah nah,
B C#m E
I've seen the wild horses
A
I've heard the bullroarers
B C#m E
I've seen the wild horses

p.s. I play the B chord throughout the verse, muted with my right hand.
p.p.s. there's a little solo-thing in a couple of the verses... here it is:
