The Kiewa Valley Song © Peter Ward 1980 [Intro] Am C G Am Am C G Am Am C G Am Am C G G Am C G Am [Verse 1]

^AmAs I was coming into t^Chis little town along the K^Giewa Valley R^Amoad ^AmI was thinking this mu^Cst be the place where I can l^Gay my heavy lo^Amad ^AmThroughout the world I’ve tra^Cvelled far and gr^Geat sights I have s^Ameen ^AmBut nothing beats those moun^Ctain peaks and rol^Gling fields of gr^Ameen ^C ^G ^Am

[Chorus]

And the K^Fiewa Valley is mig^Chty fine and it’s h^Gere I feel so f^Amree I love^F the Kiewa Va^Clley and that’s wh^Gere I want to ^Ambe And I d^Fon’t want no compli^Ccations my friends, I don’t w^Gant no city b^Amlues L^Ameave me in pe^Cace in the country to d^Go, as I ch^Amoose ^C ^G ^Am

[Verse 2]

^AmIt’s many years since ^CI discovered how it f^Gelt to visit h^Amere ^AmI remember the Bo^Cgong pub and the bu^Grning fire so cl^Amear ^AmBut changes came in the co^Curse of time and the f^Gire no longer g^Amlows ^AmBut to me it’s still the beau^Ctiful valley where the K^Giewa River f^Amlows ^C ^G ^Am

[Verse 3]

^AmThere’s gentle creeks and s^Chady streams where y^Gou can swim and p^Amlay ^AmAnd lazy walks through the fo^Crest tracks and c^Gamp spots along the ^Amway ^AmThe colours change on those dis^Ctant hills when the s^Getting sun goes ^Amdown ^AmAnd you’ll delight in the s^Ctarry nights on that mo^Gonlit sleepy ^Amtown ^C ^G ^Am

[Instrumental] F C G Am F C G Am [Part Chorus]

And I d^Fon’t want no compli^Ccations my friend, I don’t w^Gant no city bl^Amues ^AmLeave me in pe^Cace in the country to ^Gdo, as I ch^Amoose ^C ^G ^Am

[Verse 4]

^AmWell things have changed in the sev^Centies as is t^Grue of other par^Amts ^AmBuildings rise and bus^Ciness booms when the sk^Giing season sta^Amrts ^AmBut I just hope that the l^Cocal folk don’t ch^Gange as the township g^Amrows ^AmLet it always be the f^Criendly valley, where the K^Giewa River f^Amlows ^C ^G ^Am

[Chorus]

And the K^Fiewa Valley is mig^Chty fine and it’s h^Gere I feel so f^Amree I love^F the Kiewa Va^Clley and that’s wh^Gere I want to ^Ambe And I d^Fon’t want no compli^Ccations my friends, I don’t w^Gant no city b^Amlues L^Ameave me in peace in ^Cthe country to d^Go, as I ch^Amoose ^C ^G ^Am

[Instrumental] F C G Am F C G Am [Part Chorus]

And^F I don’t want no co^Cmplications my friend, ^GI don’t want no ci^Amty blues Le^Fave me in pe^Cace in the country to d^Go, as I c^Amhoose ^C ^G ^Am
