the designation of majors, minors and 7th's may be wrong.

Intro:

[NC]Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I don't want to see this town no more

Wastin' my days on the factory floor

First thing you know [live version repeats these lines]

I'll be back in Bow River again [live version repeats these lines]

[[G7]] [[Am]]

Any time you [[Am]]want babe

You can come [[Dm]]around

[[F]]Only six days [[Em]]separates me

>From the [[Am]]great top end

I've been workin' [[Am]]hard

Twelve hours a [[Dm]]day

And the [[F]]money I [[Em]]save

Won't buy my [[Am]]youth again

I'm going for the [[Am]]heat wave

And the tropical [[Dm]]rain

And a [[F]]place where no man's [[Em]]

Puttin' on the [[Am]]dog for me

I'm waitin' on the weekend

Set of brand new [[Dm]]tyres

I'm [[F]]back in Bow [[F/C]]River

[[Em]]Just where I [[Em/B]]wanna be[[Am]]

Ohh

Chorus:

[[Am]]Listen now to the wind babe

Listen now to the rain [[Am/C]] [[Am/E]]

I feel that water lickin' at my feet again

I [[Am]]don't wanna [[Bm]]see this [[Cm]]town no [[Dm]]more

[[Dm]]Too many [[Em]]years made [[Fm]]up my [[Gm]]mind

[[Am]]To go or [[Bm]]stay

[[Cm]]Right to my [[Dm]]dying [[Em]]day

I [[Am]]don't wanna [[Cm]]see another [[Dm]]engine [[Em]]line

[[Dm]]Too many [[Em]]years and I [[Fm]]owe my [[Gm]]mind

The [[F]]first set of [[F/C]]wheels

And [[Em]]back in Bow [[Em/B]]River again[[Am]]

First [[F]]thing you [[F/C]]know

I'll be [[Em]]back in Bow [[Em/B]]River again[[Am]]

[[Am]] [[Dm]] [[F]] [[Em]] [[Am]] x 4

I got the motor [[Am]]runnin'

I got the rest of my [[Dm]]days

I [[F]]sold everything I [[Em]]own

For just a [[Am]]song

So any time you want babe (Oh, Oh, Oh)

You can come [[Dm]]around (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)

But don't [[F]]leave it too [[F/C]]late

[[Em]]You just might [[Em/B]]find me [[Am]]gone

Chorus

I don't [[Am]]need the [[Bm]]score

I'm [[Cm]]goin' through the [[Dm]]door

I'm [[Em]]gonna tell the [[Fm]]man

I don't [[Gm]]want no [[Am]]more

[[Am]]Pick up a [[Bm]]fast car

And [[Cm]]burn my [[Dm]]name in the [[Em]]road

[[Am]]One week, [[Bm]]two week

[[Cm]]Maybe even [[Dm]]more

[[Dm]]I'll piss all the [[Em]]money

[[Fm]]Up against the damn [[Gm]]wall

First [[F]]thing you [[F/C]]know )

I'll be [[Em]]back in Bow [[Em/B]]River [[Am]]again ) x 3
