COMMENTS: I've transcribed the song in E.
If you detune your guitar a semi-tone and place a capo on the second fret
this chord progression matches pretty closely what Ian Moss plays live on his
acoustic sets, although the original Cold Chisel song was in A.
I've also included some extra notes in the chords to help pick (^) out the bass line.
The D (bass F#) is probably the trickiest, try your thumb ! Good luck
..
[Intro]
EListen now to the wind babe
Em7Listen now to the rain
AI feel that water
lickin' at my feet agaEin
Em D(bass F#) G G/E
I don't wanna see this town no more
AmWastin' my dG/Eays on the faCctory floor
C7First thing you know
B7 Em [Esus Em] x 4
I'll be back in Bow River again
[Verse 1]
Any time you wEmant babe
You can come arAound
C7Only six days sB7eparates me
From the gEmreat top end
I've been workin' hard
Twelve hours a day
And the money I save
Won't buy my youth again
[Verse 2]
I'm going for the heat wave
And the tropical rain
And a place where no man's
Puttin' on the dog for me
I'm waitin' on the weekend
Set of brand new tyres
And back in Bow River
Just where I wanna be
ohh
[Chorus]
EListen now to the wind babe
Em7Listen now to the rain
AI feel that water lickin' at my feet aEgain
Em D(bass F#) G G/E
I don't wanna see this town no more
AmToo many G/Eyears made Cup my Dmind
Em D(bass F#)G
To go or stay right to my
ADying dB7ay
Em D(bass F#) G G/E
I don't wanna see another engine line
AmToo many G/Eyears and I oCwe my mind
C7The first set of wheels
B7 Em [Esus Em]
And back in Bow River again
C7First thing you know
B7 Em [Esus Em]
I'll be back in Bow River again
[Break]
[Em D Em
A G A
C7 B7 Em (Esus Em)] x 2
[Em A C7 B7 Em (Esus Em)] x 4
[Verse 3]
I got the motor runnin'
I got the rest of my days
I sold everything I own
For just a song
So any time you want babe
You can come around
Don't you leave it too late
You just might find me gone
gone
gone
[Chorus]
[Finale: Chorus chord progression
from Em]
I don't need the score
I'm walkin' out the door
I'm gonna tell the man
I don't want no more
Pick up a fast car
And burn my name in the road
One week, two week
Maybe even more
I'll piss all my money
Up against the damn wall
[First thing you know
I'll be back in Bow River again] x 3
