D G
[Chorus]
D G D
Kilometres are still miles to me
G A
They separate from home and family
G A
Now I can't count the white posts,
D G
They're not where they used to be,
D A D
Kilometres are still miles to me
[Verse 1]
Bm
Oh, it used to be five hundred
G D
From Melbourne to Sydney Town,
G D
Now it seems longer
A
Every time the run comes 'round.
G A
But I just keep a-churning on
D G
And stand on my two feet
A
But I'm weighed down in metrics,
D
Strange figures get me beat
[Chorus]
D G D
Yes, kilometres are still miles to me
G A
They separate from home and family
G A
Now I can't count the white posts,
D G
They're not where they used to be,
D A D
Kilometres are still miles to me
[Break]
G A D G D A D
[Verse 2]
Bm
The familiar signs are gone
G D
And I'm wondering why.
G D
I know the dog is still
A
Five miles from Gundagai.
G A
Pumping litres more than gallons
D G
Into this old rig
A
And my seven-ounce at the end of the day
D
Is two hundred mils too big
[Chorus]
D G D
Yes, kilometres are still miles to me
G A
They separate from home and family
G A
Now I can't count the white posts,
D G
They're not where they used to be,
D A D
Kilometres are still miles to me
[Outro]
G A
Now I can't count the white posts,
D G
They're not where they used to be,
D A D
Kilometres are still miles to me
