[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

[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

[Ok here's why I like usign E as the root chord - the bass line is a bit easier to pick out]
