INTRO 

 
                             Dm 
I spent some time out in the canefields, 
G                           C     G/B Am C/G 
 I headed west to lightning ridge. 
                       Dm 
I've seen every lonely roadhouse, 
G                           C      C/B Am C7 
 From Charleville to Murray Bridge. 
                         F 
I see your face in every shadow, 
G                          Am 
I hear your voice upon the wind. 
                     Dm 
The more I try to forget you, 
G                            C   Bb F C/G 
 The more your memory rushes in. 
 
 
 
                           F    G                      C   G/B Am C/G 
When the snow falls on the Alice and it floods at Tilberoo, 
                       Dm   G                             C   Bb F C 
When the Road freezes over, that's when I'll stop loving you.

INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
 
                         Dm 
Just like the end of the rainbow, 
G                         C     G/B Am C/G 
You're always just out of reach. 
               Dm 
We parted in a moment, 
G                              C     G/B Am C7 
 But I've been leaving you for years. 
                          F 
So don't ask me where I'm goin', 
G                           Am 
 'Cause I won't know 'til I arrive. 
                                 Dm 
Though you're a thousand miles behind me, 
G                        C     Bb F C 
You're never far from my mind. 
 
 
 
                           F    G                      C   G/B Am C/G 
When the snow falls on the Alice and it floods at Tilberoo, 
                   Dm   G                       C 
I'll lay my burden down, and my waitin' will be through. 
                                F      G                          Am 
'Til then you'll find me on the highway just somewhere beyond the blue, 
                       Dm   G                             C   Bb F C 
When the Road freezes over, that's when I'll stop loving you.
