Chords

[Intro] D G [Chorus]
D          G                  D
Kilometres are still miles to me

                   G             A
They separate from home and family

    G                 A
Now I can't count the white posts,

        D                      G
They're not where they used to be,

D          A                  D
Kilometres are still miles to me
[Verse 1]
       Bm
Oh, it used to be five hundred

     G                   D
From Melbourne to Sydney Town,

G            D
Now it seems longer

                          A
Every time the run comes 'round.

    G             A
But I just keep a-churning on

    D               G
And stand on my two feet

    A
But I'm weighed down in metrics,

                       D
Strange figures get me beat
[Chorus]
     D          G                  D
Yes, kilometres are still miles to me

                   G             A
They separate from home and family

    G                 A
Now I can't count the white posts,

        D                      G
They're not where they used to be,

D          A                  D
Kilometres are still miles to me
[Break] G A D G D A D [Verse 2]
     Bm
The familiar signs are gone

G                 D
And I'm wondering why.

G          D
I know the dog is still

                     A
Five miles from Gundagai.

G              A
Pumping litres more than gallons

D             G
Into this old rig

       A
And my seven-ounce at the end of the day

                        D
Is two hundred mils too big
[Chorus]
     D          G                  D
Yes, kilometres are still miles to me

                   G             A
They separate from home and family

    G                 A
Now I can't count the white posts,

        D                      G
They're not where they used to be,

D          A                  D
Kilometres are still miles to me
[Outro]
    G                 A
Now I can't count the white posts,

        D                      G
They're not where they used to be,

D          A                  D
Kilometres are still miles to me
D G
