[Verse 1]
[Am]I[G][F][C][Am][G][F][C]
[Am]was hanging round out
[G]in Sydney and I [F]was going [C]down
[Am]I'd done too many [G]parties
my money [F]was running out
[C]Then I m[Am]et an old man[G]
who lived [F]all [C]alone
[Am]He had two dogs for com[G]pany and
that's [F]all [C]he owned

[Verse 2]
[Dm]He was saving up his pen
[Am]sion for [C]a one way [G]fare
[Dm]Said that when he had [Am]enough
he was get[C]ting out [G]of there
[Dm]I said [Am]"really,
what are [F]you gonna [Am]do?"
[C]He smiled [G]and said "there's good [F]light
[C]in Broome"[Am]

[Am]I went out to West[G]ern Queensland

[Am]home from [C]a stormy [G]sea
[Dm]She'd up and g[Am]one

[Am]I was thinking about [G]her and
what [F]she did [C]to me

[Verse 7]
[Dm]There was [Am]a road and a hair- pin b[C]end[G]

[Verse 8]
[C]
I [Am]went trucking out [C]of Mel[G]bourne
[F]back and forwards [C]to Perth
[Am]It didn't take [G]long and it seemed
[F]like a [C]curse
[Am]My eyes were on the road [G]but my mind
[F]was some[C]where else
When I [Am]pulled [G]in [F]to a [C]Nul
larbor roadhouse
Wait[Dm]ress came [Am]over and
she's there [C]looking [G]at me
She asked [Dm]me how [Am]I was I said
[C]"bit or[G]dinary"
[Dm]She said [Am]"I thought that might
[F]be your [Am]tune"

[F]un der [C]the waves
[Am]And all the dirt will [G]drai[F]n away[C]

[Verse 11]
And just [Dm]like [Am]Bunjo I'll
