[Verse 1]
G Em G I'm backing up the lorry, can't wait for night to come G Em G I'm sweeping out the back yard on a Friday afternoon G Em G6 Em We'll gather round the players and we'll head off for the stars C D Dsus4 G Pack the van with poetry, drums and the guitars
[Verse 2]
G Em G We'll take Billy for the whisky, Willie for the door G Em G We'll take Mary Kate and Lizzy for the dancing round the floor G Em G6 Em We'll turn this empty hall into city full of lights C D Dsus4 G And lift the summer spirits through the passing of the night
[Chorus]
C D C G There was laughing, and there were tears C Em Bm D There were so many shattered hopes and dreams C D C G But there was treasure and 40 years G D G In the place where the rivers run
[Verse 3]
G Em G We'll hammer on the two-step, we'll lay it on the snare G Em G Romancing the accordion, waltzing out the aires G Em G Em These sacred swaying anthems, within our lover's grasp C D Dsus4 G Stripping down the willow to the footsteps of the past
[Chorus]
C D C G There was laughing, and there were tears C Em Bm D There were so many shattered hopes and dreams C D C G But there was treasure and 40 years G D G In the place where the rivers run

G C Em We were kings and queens, the reels go round Em7 C D It's the badge of our culture, say it loud C D C G6 And it's all in the gift of the young and the proud G D G In the place where the rivers run
[Verse 4]
G Em G We're loading out the back door, now the hour is come G Em G Driving through the black hills with the red and rising sun G Em G6 Em There's a river and a distance, far as eyes can see C D Dsus4 G Home by Kyle and Broadford round by Memphis Tennessee
