Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) We
(G major) were
both 18 the (C major) year that we met
I (G major) was slightly older but not (C major) by much
One (G major) look at you and I knew that that (C major) was it
And (G major) your voice sounded like
(C major) an angel of love (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major)
One (G major) look at me, you thought
that I (C major) was odd
Wearing (G major) those clothes in the
(C major) Kimberley heat
Blunt (G major) s them boots,
cowboy hat, (C major) flannelette
Den (G major) im overcoat
all the way (C major) down to my feet (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
When (G major) your sister asked me
to (C major) join up with you
You nearly (G major) fainted with shock
but you hit (C major) it well
What the (G major) hell are you doing,
you shouted (C major) when I left
I was (G major) singing all the way back to my
(C major) hotel (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major)
Headed (G major) off from Broome,
travelled (C major) through the Kimberley (G major) Derby, Fitzroy, (C major) a night in Halls Creek Wyndham,
(G major) Cuninara, Darwin, we (C major) stayed for a while
Then we hit (G major) the coast
near Townsville on the (C major) other side
Well (G major) Christmas in Cairns,
didn't (C major) have nowhere to go
Busk (G major) ing on the street just to (C major) get a feed
Being (G major) kept awake all night
by those (C major) lovers in the top bunk
Had (G major) a seedy backpack,
that's got (C major) Racha off the deep (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major)
Now (G major) plenty has happened
since those (C major) early days,
met a lot of people and
been a lot of places,
many a night (G major) in friends
and (C major) re latives beds,
and (G major) God blessed a lot of you
that put (C major) us up and fed us,
(G major) played to crowds of thousands,
(C major) played to one or two,
played in (G major) festivals and pubs,
loved and (C major) hated what we do,
but (G major) looking back now I wouldn't (C major) trade but one of
the (G major) memories we made in the last (C major) eight years,
and (G major) though there were times
we (C major) didn't get along,
can (G major) honestly say that I love (C major) the both of you. (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Now you're (G major) living in Sydney
in some dingy (C major) room
with a (G major) house full of strangers
on Rams (C major) gate Avenue.
You're (G major) paying twice as much
as what the (C major) damn thing's worth.
(G major) Working in the daytime
just to make it (C major) through.
You got your (G major) arms to your elbows
in the (C major) sink at some place.
Cleaning (G major) pots and pans,
cups and saucers,
(C major) knives and forks and plates.
It's a (G major) far cry from the (C major) life that we knew.
(G major) Travelling round the country
in (C major) a camper van.
Play (G major) ing songs,
singing with your (C major) sister and you.
It's (G major) too late now to go back (C major) there again. (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major)
