A
Listen now to the wind babe
Am7
Listen now to the rain
D7                                     A
I feel that water lickin' at my feet a-gain
  Am          G/B        Am/C
I don't wanna see this town no more
Dm          C/E         Dm/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
              D
You can come around
    F7            E7
But only six days separates me
        Am
and the red top end
                  Am
I've been workin' hard
               D
Twelve hours a day
        F7
And the money I've saved
      E7             Am
Won't buy my youth again

[Verse 2]
                  Am
I'm going for the heat, babe
                 D
And the tropical rain
      F7
And a place where no man's
E7                      Am
Puttin' on the dog for me
                   Am
I'm waitin' on the weekend
                 D
Set of brand new tyres
    F7
I'm 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
I feel that water lickin' at my feet again
  Am          G      Am
I don't wanna see this town no more
Dm       C       Dm     C
Too many years made up my mind
   Am     G
To go or stay
C           D      E7
Right to my dying day
  Am          G           Am
I don't wanna see another engine line
F        C           F
Too many years and I owe my mind
    F7
The first set of wheels
    E7                  Am
And back in Bow River again
    F7
The first thing you know
        E7                  Am
I'll be back in Bow River again

Yea-ah

Got the motor runnin', got the rest of my days
F                  E7          Am
Sold everything I owned for a song
                Am                D
So anytime you want babe, you can come around
           F7                    E7                 Am

I don't need the score
     G
I'm goin' through the door
Am             G            C       D
Gonna tell the man I don't want no more
Em                      G                   B7
Pick up a fast car and burn my name in the road
Em        D/F#     G
One week two week maybe even more
Am           G     C
Piss all my money up against the damn wall
F7                            E7                Am
First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again
