    We
    G

    were
    C

    both 18 the year that we met
    G
    C

    I was slightly older but not by much
    G
    C

    One look at you and I knew that that was it
    G

    And your voice sounded like
    C
    G
    C
    G

    an angel of love
    C

    G

    One look at me, you thought
    C

    that I was odd
    G

    Wearing those clothes in the
    C

    Kimberley heat
    G

    Blunts them boots,
    C

    cowboy hat, flannelette
    G

    Denim overcoat
    C

    C

    all the way down to my feet
    G

    When your sister asked me
    C

    to join up with you
    G

    You nearly fainted with shock
    C

    but you hit it well
    G

    What the hell are you doing,
    C

    you shouted when I left
    G

    I was singing all the way back to my
    C

    hotel

    G

    Headed off from Broome,
    C
    G
    C

    travelled through the Kimberley Derby, Fitzroy, a night in Halls Creek Wyndham,
    G
    C

    Cuninara, Darwin, we stayed for a while
    G

    Then we hit the coast
    C

    near Townsville on the other side
    G

    Well Christmas in Cairns,
    C

    didn't have nowhere to go
    G
    C

    Busking on the street just to get a feed
    G

    Being kept awake all night
    C

    by those lovers in the top bunk
    G

    Had a seedy backpack,
    C
    G
    C
    G

    that's got Racha off the deep

    Now plenty has happened
    C

    since those early days,

    met a lot of people and

    been a lot of places,
    G

    many a night in friends
    C

    and re latives beds,
    G

    and God blessed a lot of you
    C

    that put us up and fed us,
    G

    played to crowds of thousands,
    C

    played to one or two,
    G

    played in festivals and pubs,
    C

    loved and hated what we do,
    G
    C

    but looking back now I wouldn't trade but one of
    G
    C

    the memories we made in the last eight years,
    G

    and though there were times
    C

    we didn't get along,
    G
    C
    G

    can honestly say that I love the both of you.

    Now you're living in Sydney
    C

    in some dingy room
    G

    with a house full of strangers
    C

    on Ramsgate Avenue.
    G

    You're paying twice as much
    C

    as what the damn thing's worth.
    G

    Working in the daytime
    C

    just to make it through.
    G

    You got your arms to your elbows
    C

    in the sink at some place.
    G

    Cleaning pots and pans,

    cups and saucers,
    C

    knives and forks and plates.
    G
    C

    It's a far cry from the life that we knew.
    G

    Travelling round the country
    C

    in a camper van.
    G

    Playing songs,
    C

    singing with your sister and you.

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      “I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      “I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      “I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      “It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
