Camooweal

E
Should ever I go back to Camooweal,
T'would be in the spring when desert
         B7
 flowers bloom.

Oh the spinifex I know would still 
be there
And the desert pea would brighten up
     E
 the gloom

       E
Should ever I go back to Camooweal
One thing is sure I'd not be 
       A
twenty-two,
As if that day when I first wandered
 E
 there,
    B7                      
But mem'ries stay with me as 
          E
mem'ries do.

[Verse 2]
E
How fresh her mem'ry keeps for still
 I feel

The velvet softness of her auburn 
B7
hair,

And see again the moonbeams in her 
eyes
As I did so long ago when I was 
E
there.

      E
Youth called to youth in that now 
distant day.
I did not heed, my heart did not 
A
reveal,
And now I know that love was born 
    E
and lost
        B7                   
In that little border town of 
      E
Camooweal.

[Verse 3]
E
Oh, the long road beckoned on, my 
feet said go
To search beyond the hills for what 
    B7
I'd find.

Although I've wandered far this 
sunburnt land
I've never found what I have left 
E
behind.

       E
Oh the burning fire of that other 
spring
Is now but ashes, and the hurt won't
 A
 heal
Time heals all wounds they say, but 
           E
leaves the scar,
     B7                       
So I think I'll not go back to 
      E
Camooweal,

     A                             
Time heals all wounds they say, but
            E
 leaves the scar
     B7                       
So I think I'll not go back to 
      E
Camooweal.

      B7                       
No, I think I'll not go back to 
      E
Camooweal.
