Bow River Tabs & Lyrics by Cold Chisel
Bow River
guitar tabs lyrics
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]
E
Listen now to the wind babe
Em7
Listen now to the rain
A
I feel that water
E
lickin' at my feet again
Em D(bass F#) G G/E
I don't wanna see this town no more
Am G/E C
Wastin' my days on the factory floor
C7
First thing you know
B7 Em [Esus Em] x 4
I'll be back in Bow River again
[Verse 1]
Em
Any time you want babe
A
You can come around
C7 B7
Only six days separates me
Em
From the great 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]
E
Listen now to the wind babe
Em7
Listen now to the rain
A E
I feel that water lickin' at my feet again
Em D(bass F#) G G/E
I don't wanna see this town no more
Am G/E C D
Too many years made up my mind
Em D(bass F#)G
To go or stay right to my
A B7
Dying day
Em D(bass F#) G G/E
I don't wanna see another engine line
Am G/E C
Too many years and I owe my mind
C7
The first set of wheels
B7 Em [Esus Em]
And back in Bow River again
C7
First 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
