E
Listen now to the wind babe
Em7
Listen now to the rain
A
I feel that water
                      E
lickin' at my feet again

  Em           D/F#    G       G/B
I don't wanna see this town no more
Am         G/B         C
Wastin' my days on the factory floor
C7
First thing you know
        B7                   Em    Esus   Em (x4)
I'll be back in Bow River again


[Verse 1]
              Em
Any time you want babe
               A
You can come around
C7             B7                   Em    Esus  Em    
Only six days separates me from the great top end

                  Em
I've been workin' hard
               A
Twelve hours a day
         C7                B7              Em  Esus Em   
And the money I save won't buy my youth again


[Verse 2]
                  Em
I'm going for the heat wave
                 A
And the tropical rain
      C7                   B7                     Em  Esus Em
And a place where no man's puttin' on the dog for me

                   Em
I'm waitin' on the weekend
                 A
Set of brand new tyres
      C7               B7                 Em  Esus Em
And back in Bow River, just where I wanna be...       ...ohh


[Chorus]
E
Listen now to the wind babe
Em7
Listen now to the rain
A                                    E
I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

  Em          D/F#     G        G/B
I don't wanna see this town no more
Am       G/B         C      D
Too many years, made up my mind
   Em    D/F#  G
To go or stay right to my
A      B7
Dying day

  Em          D/F#        G       G/B
I don't wanna see another engine line
Am        G/B         C
Too many years and I owe my mind
C7                                   B7                Em   Esus   Em
The first set of wheels, and I'll be back in Bow River again
C7                            B7                   Em   Esus  Em
First thing you know, I'll be back in Bow River again


[Break]
Em    D     Em
A     G     A
C7    B7    Em   Esus  Em (x2)

Em    A    C7   B7    Em   Esus  Em (x2)


[Verse 3]
                Em
I got the motor runnin'
                     A
I got the rest of my days
  C7                B7              Em  Esus Em    
I sold everything I own for just a song

                Em
So any time you want babe
         A
You can come around
          C7                      B7                 Em  Esus Em 
Don't you leave it too late, you just might find me gone…gone…gone


[Chorus]
E
Listen now to the wind babe
Em7
Listen now to the rain
A                                    E
I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

  Em          D/F#     G        G/B
I don't wanna see this town no more
Am       G/B         C      D
Too many years, made up my mind
   Em    D/F#  G
To go or stay right to my
A      B7
Dying day

  Em          D/F#        G       G/B
I don't wanna see another engine line
Am        G/B         C
Too many years and I owe my mind
C7                               B7                Em   Esus   Em
The first set of wheels, headin' back in Bow River again


[Finale]
        Em       D/F#       G                G/B
I don't need the score, I'm walkin’ out the door
     Am            G/B          C       D
I'm gonna tell the man, I don't want no more
Em         D/F#         G
Pick up a fast car, and burn my 
A           B7
name in the road

Em        D/F#      G          G/B
One week, two week, maybe even more
Am               G/B         C
I'll piss all my money, up against the damn wall
C7                            B7                  Em   Esus   Em
First thing you know, I'll be back in Bow River again 
C7                            B7                  Em   Esus   Em
First thing you know, I'll be back in Bow River again 
C7                            B7                  Em   Esus   Em
First thing you know, I'll be back in Bow River again
