Intro:
Listen now to the wind babe
Listen now to the rain
I feel that water lickin' at my feet again
I don't want to see this town no more
Wastin' my days on the factory floor
First thing you know      live version repeats these lines
I'll be back in Bow River again      live version repeats these lines

             Am
Any time you want babe
             Dm 
You can come around
F             Em 
Only six days separates me
         Am 
From the great top end
                  Am 
I've been workin' hard
               Dm 
Twelve hours a day
        F       Em 
And the money I save
             Am 
Won't buy my youth again
                  Am 
I'm going for the heat wave
                 Dm 
And the tropical rain
      F                    Em
And a place where no man's 
               Am
Puttin' on the dog for me
 
I'm waitin' on the weekend 
                 Dm
Set of brand new tyres
    F           F/C 
I'm back in Bow River
Em           Em/B    Am 
Just where I wanna be 

Ohh

Too many years and I owe my mind
    F            F/C
