<< Back to Cold Chisel Song List
Version 1 Version 2
[Intro]
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
