Hey creating this tab so i and other artists can play it, also help transpose the song if too low to sing Em G D A [Intro] EM G D [Verse 1]
        Em               G
She was born by northern rivers

           D
Where the land breathes fire and flood

        Em                 G
She can tell the coming weather

            D
In her bones, her body and her blood

        Em    G                 D
I was born here on the southern bay

         Em      G              D
Concerning myself, I don't have much to say
[Verse 2]
            Em                G
Well, she grew up on northern rivers

          D
Coloured birds sang her out of bed each day

           Em                 G
She made friends with wild creatures

               D
They were her dreaming, her study, and her play

           Em              G            D
She's kind of wild too, hard to keep in view

           Em   G                D
The more I know her, the less I do
[Verse 3]
              Em                 G
And she came down from northern rivers

          D
Made her home here on the southern bay

             Em                G
The winter wind here make her shiver

            D
But she discovers new wonders every day

                Em    G            D
She's got some wonder, I'm telling you

            Em    G        D
The more I know her, the less I do
[Interlude] EM G D A x2 [Verse 4]
        Em                         G
Now the birds here have had their season

         D
They are fed up and getting ready to fly

         Em              G
She will always have her reason

             D
To take her leave in the good old by and by

         Em         G               D
Whatever she does to herself she's true

           Em     G            D
The more I know her the less I do
[Outro]
         Em     G              D
I was born here on the southern bay

             Em       G                   D
There ain't much more now, that I need to say
