INTRO
Dm
I spent some time out in the canefields,
G C G/B Am C/G
I headed west to lightning ridge.
Dm
I've seen every lonely roadhouse,
G C C/B Am C7
From Charleville to Murray Bridge.
F
I see your face in every shadow,
G Am
I hear your voice upon the wind.
Dm
The more I try to forget you,
G C Bb F C/G
The more your memory rushes in.
F G C G/B Am C/G
When the snow falls on the Alice and it floods at Tilberoo,
Dm G C Bb F C
When the Roper freezes over, that's when I'll stop loving you.

INSTRUMENTAL
Dm
Just like the end of the rainbow,
G C G/B Am C/G
You're always just out of reach.
Dm
We parted in a moment,
G C G/B Am C7
But I've been leaving you for years.
F
So don't ask me where I'm goin',
G Am
'Cause I won't know 'til I arrive.
Dm
Though you're a thousand miles behind me,
G C Bb F C
You're never far from my mind.
F G C G/B Am C/G
When the snow falls on the Alice and it floods at Tilberoo,
Dm G C
I'll lay my burden down, and my waitin' will be through.
F G Am
'Til then you'll find me on the highway just somewhere beyond the blue,
Dm G C Bb F C
When the Roper freezes over, that's when I'll stop loving you.
