Clouds Over Tamworth

Em  D/F#  C  D/F#  G

[Verse 1]
G           D/F#  G      D/F#
Bags in the boot, guitar away,
G          D/F#             G    
We've done our best another day,
  D/F#

G            D/F#           C   
Numbers were down blame the 
              D/F#
floods, blame the fire,
G          D/F#              G  
Top up the tank, check the 
    D/F#
tyres.

[Chorus]
        Em                        
I could see the clouds build over 
D/F#
Tamworth,
         Em          C       D/F#
Feel the wind nearly blow me away,
Em                       D/F#
Like a rolie polie I'm a blowin',
      C           D/F#         G
Here today gone tomorrow they say.

[Verse 2]
          G          D/F#         
And we'll sing as we go head down 
    G         D/F#
the highway,
     G             C         D/F#
Talk about all the people we know,
Continues after the ad
   G          D/F#        G       
We come every year to the valley,
 D/F#

        C         D/F#        G
For the music and ro----de----o.

[Chorus]
          Em                       
You don't want to get stuck on the 
D/F#
Northside,
    Em          C                
The river runs right through the 
D/F#
town,
         Em                      
Yes it's over in time to hit the 
D/F#
road Jack,
         C             D/F#       
When the lightning and rain 
  G
tumbles down.

[Instrumental]
Em  D/F#  Em  C  D/F#  Em  

D/F#  C  D/F#  G

[Verse 3]
   G               D/F#   G       
So stay strong you unsung heroes,
 D/F#

   G            C         D/F#
Be glad you are part of a team,
       G           D/F#      G   
You'll always come up with a 
     D/F#
winner,
         C            D/F#    
When you realise your part of a 
  G
dream.

[Chorus]
        Em                        
I could see the clouds build over 
D/F#
Tamworth,
      Em             C          
As we search for the words that 
D/F#
ring,
        Em                   
All the bells in the tower of 
 D/F#
legends,
       C             D/F#          
with a song that our children will 
G
sing.

[Chorus]
          Em                       
You don't want to get stuck on the 
D/F#
Northside,
    Em         C                 
The river runs right through the 
D/F#
town,
         Em                      
Yes it's over in time to hit the 
D/F#
road Jack,
         C             D/F#       
When the lightning and rain 
  G
tumbles down.

[Other]
       Em                 D/F#
I look up to the tower of legends,
         C             D/F#       
When the lightning and rain 
  G
tumbles down.
