Along The Kidman Way Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
Rode like a gun barrel
pointed at my head
Gotta drive so far just to
make some bread
Feel[A]ing like a fugitive [D]on [A]the run[Em]
Trucks think they own the road at night
I'm not about to argue, I'll dip my lights
Then a [A]nightburn swoops, dies on my [Em]grill
I [G]pull up and step out on the dusty ground
Let my [D]mind catch up,
my motor cool down
And the [A]stars sweep my [D]soul,
[A]along the[Em] Kidman Way
500 miles from the city and the coast
I'm countin' the hours,
I'm countin' the posts
Hopin' I [A]get somewhere down the [Em]road
Stop at a river to quench my thirst
Grooves on a stone told me
I wasn't the first
While the [A]tribes were smashed
and scattered to the [Em]wind
[G]The arms of lies played on these backs
The spir[D]it still flows in a woman's flanks
And the ba[A]bies keep getting born
[D]along [Em]the Kidman W[Am]ay[G]
[A][G][Am][Asus4][A][Em]
Town dug on copper,
dug from a mine
Shipwork makes for an ordered life
Well [A]here was the prospect
[D]to [A]make a square mea[Em]l
I'm having coffee in the
single main street
Happy to take the weight off my feet
But they're [A]closin' the doors,
[Em]takin' my chair
[G]I took my show to a western town
A [D]stranger said,
how come I haven't made it by now?
Well, I said, [A]I made it here
Oh, didn't you [D]look along [Em]the keepin'
[Am]way?[Em][G][A][Em]
[A][Em]
You get people at both ends
Those that hate you and want to do you in
[A]Those that love you
and their lives change [Em]forever
Feel like a species endangered on the brink
In an alien land my songs don't stink
Don't know [A]if there's a future
Or I'm a [Em]-gettin' Brave
[G]can be the same as stubborn
[D]All depends on the situation comin'
[A]Plenty of places I hav[D]en't covered
[A]But[Em] we're on the kiddin' way
[G]I hear talkin' could get worse
And my [D]name's been mentioned in
An image ever
[A]Might as well keep lookin' forward
Along [Em]that Kidman Way
Might as well keep goin' that way
Might as well keep goin' today

[Outro 1]
Thank you for watching!
[Em]
