A
Listen now to the wind babe
Am7
Listen now to the rain
D                                       A
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again
  Am          G/B      C
I don't wanna see this town no more
Dm         C/E         F
Wastin' my days on the factory floor, the
F7
First thing you know
        E7                 Am
I'll be back in Bow River again


[Verse 1]
             Am
Any time you want babe
              Dm7
You can come around
    F7            E7
But only six days separates me
        Am
and the great top end
                  Am
I've been workin' hard
               D
Twelve hours a day
        F
And the money I save
      E7             Am
Won't buy my youth again


[Verse 2]
                  Am
I'm going for the heat, babe
                 Dm7
And the tropical rain
      F
And a place where no man's
E7                       Am
Puttin' on the dog for me
                   
I'm waitin' on the weekend
                 Dm7
Set of brand new tyres
    F     
And back in Bow River
E7                   Am
Just where I wanna be


[Chorus]
    A
Oh, listen now to the wind, babe
Am7
Listen now to the rain
  D/A                                 A
I feel that water lickin' at my feet again
  Am7         G/B      C
I don't wanna see this town no more
Dm       C/E        F     G
Too many years made up my mind
   Am      G/B
To go or stay
C           D     E7
Right to my dying day
  Am          G/B         C      C/E
I don't wanna see another engine line
Dm       C            F
Too many years that I owe my mind
    F7
The first set of wheels headin'
E7                Am
Back Bow River again
    F7
The first thing you know
        E7                  Am
I'll be back in Bow River again

Yeah

Am
I got the motor runnin'
                     Dm7
I got the rest of my days
F                      E7
I sold everything I own

For just a song

[Bridge]
        Am       G/B
I don't need the score
      C               C/E
I'm goin' through the door
    Dm              C/E
I'm gonna tell that man
        F       G
I don't want no more
Am          G/B
Pick up a fast car
    C       D           E7
And burn my name in the road
Am        G/B
One week, two weeks
C          C/E
Maybe even more
     Dm7         C/E
I'll piss all my money
    F
Up against the damn wall

I'll be back in Bow River again

The first thing you know

I'll be back in Bow River again
