[Verse 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G]We[C][G][C]
[G]were
both 18 the [C]year that we met
I [G]was slightly older but not [C]by much
One [G]look at you and I knew that that [C]was it
And [G]your voice sounded like
[C]an angel of [G]love[C][G]
[C]
One [G]look at me, you thought
that I [C]was odd
[G]Wearing those clothes in the
[C]Kimberley heat
Blunt[G]s them boots,
cowboy hat, [C]flannelette
Den[G]im overcoat
all the way [C]down to my [G]feet[C][G][C]
When [G]your sister asked me
to [C]join up with you
You nearly [G]fainted with shock
but you hit [C]it well
What the [G]hell are you doing,
you shouted [C]when I left
I was [G]singing all the way back to my
[C]hotel[G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G]
[C]
[G]Headed off from Broome,
travelled [C]through the Kimberley [G]Derby, Fitzroy, [C]a night in Halls Creek Wyndham,
[G]Cuninara, Darwin, we [C]stayed for a while
Then we hit [G]the coast
near Townsville on the [C]other side
Well [G]Christmas in Cairns,
didn't [C]have nowhere to go
Busk[G]ing on the street just to [C]get a feed
Being [G]kept awake all night
by those [C]lovers in the top bunk
Had [G]a seedy backpack,
that's got [C]Racha off the [G]deep[C][G]
[C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C]
Now [G]plenty has happened
since those [C]early days,
met a lot of people and
been a lot of places,
many a night [G]in friends
and [C]re latives beds,
and [G]God blessed a lot of you
that put [C]us up and fed us,
[G]played to crowds of thousands,
[C]played to one or two,
played in [G]festivals and pubs,
loved and [C]hated what we do,
but [G]looking back now I wouldn't [C]trade but one of
the [G]memories we made in the last [C]eight years,
and [G]though there were times
we [C]didn't get along,
can [G]honestly say that I love [C]the both of [G]you.

[G][C][G][C]
Now you're [G]living in Sydney
in [C]some dingy room
with a [G]house full of strangers
on Rams[C]gate Avenue.
You're [G]paying twice as much
as what the [C]damn thing's worth.
[G]Working in the daytime
just to make it [C]through.
You got your [G]arms to your elbows
in the [C]sink at some place.
Cleaning [G]pots and pans,
cups and saucers,
[C]knives and forks and plates.
It's a [G]far cry from the [C]life that we knew.
[G]Travelling round the country
in [C]a camper van.
Play[G]ing songs,
singing with your [C]sister and you.
It's [G]too late now to go back [C]there [G]again.[C][G][C][G]
