Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (G major) (F major) There's a
(C major) warning in the travel book. (F major)
The (G major) roads are rough and
no (C major) Yankee chook.
And the side tracks are
just (F major) as crook.
But you've (G major) come this far
so you (C major) take a (G major) look at a (C major) scary mountain
with big (F major) black stones.
(G major) Axles crack and you (C major) rattle your bones.
You find yourself stranded all (F major) alone
and you've got a bloody (G major) use
less mobile phone.
That's (C major) how you know (F major) you are,
(D minor) that's (G major) how you (C major) know you are,
that's how you (F major) know you are
on (G major) Cape York Peninsula (C major) (F major) (D minor) (G major)
(C major) Now there's many strange
trop (F major) ical plants,
(G major) big cathedrals built (C major) by ants
She finds a scorpion (F major) in her pants,
we have (G major) never seen a woman dance
Toss (C major) ing her clothes all (F major) over the place,
(G major) first the cottons, (C major) then the lace
Look at her go, wow, (F major) what a pace
Come on, fel (G major) las, all about face
(C major) That's how you know (F major) you are
That's (G major) how you (C major) know you are
That's how you (F major) know you are
On (G major) Cape York Peninsula (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major) (F major)
(D minor) (G major)
(C major) Well, a kookaburra tries to (F major) laugh
As a (G major) tin pot trailer fall (C major) s in half
If your darling wife has (F major) had enough
of using a (G major) bucket for a bath
But you're (C major) hardly even halfway (F major) there,
it (G major) took you ages to (C major) prepare
In desperation to (F major) make it square,
you promise her (G major) overseas (C major) somewhere
That's how you (F major) know you are,
that's (G major) how you (C major) know you are
That's how you (F major) know you are
on (G major) Cape York Peninsula (C major) (F major) (D minor) (G major)
(C major) Now there's cattlemen in (F major) bare feet
Big (G major) spare ribs with (C major) not much meat
Even in June you (F major) feel the heat
So you give that cro (G major) codile a treat
Yeah, (C major) jump in the Jacky, (F major) Jacky Creek
If (G major) that's the kind of thrill (C major) you seek
Hardly a sport for (F major) the meek
They lost a re (C major) triever there last week
That's how you (F major) know you are
(D minor) That's (G major) how you (C major) know you are
That's how you (F major) know you are
on (G major) Cape York Peninsula (C major)
(F major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (G major) (C major)
There's crystal waters, (F major) moonlit sands,
(G major) no old farts in (C major) caravans
They threw away their (F major) travel plans,
(G major) they got no (E minor) fur ther than (C major) north of Cairns
Now you're better off to (F major) go by ship,
just (G major) cruise to the top, en (C major) joy the trip
Have a celebrat (F major) ory nip
and kiss (G major) your husband on (C major) the tip.
That's how you (F major) know you are.
(G major) That's how you (C major) know you are.
That's how you (F major) know you are
on (G major) Cape York Peninsula. (C major)
That's how you (F major) know you are.
(G major) That's how you (C major) know you are.
That's how you (F major) know you are
on (G major) Cape (F major) York Peninsula.
