When We Were Kids

A                                  D
I love the smell of rivergums, the perfume of the rain
    E                       A      E
and going back again to the river
   A                             D
To Murray crays cooked in a tin, boil the billy, toss 'em in
E             A
When we were kids
                         D
Never wearing any shoes, walking in the sand
E            A         E
Fantasy land together
A                          D
Slding down the riverbank, collecting mussels till we sank
E            A
When we were kids

D                    E          A
When I could see my name on the moon
    D             E       A
And show you the Southern Cross
    D       E       F#m
Go swimming in the rain

A                               D
Pushbikes down a mallee lane in flickers of the sun
E                 A        E
It was always fun together
A                         D
Swinging on a tire swing, monkeys in a circus ring
E            A
When we were kids
                              D
Like kelpies in a holden ute, riding in the back
E                      A         E
Along the narrow track together
A                                 D
Up on top of a load of wheat, the sort of life you couldn't beat
E            A
When we were kids

D                    E          A
When I could see my name on the moon
    D             E       A
And show you the Southern Cross
    D       E       F#m
Go swimming in the rain

D                    E          A
When I could see my name on the moon
    D             E       A
And show you the Southern Cross
    D       E       F#m
Go swimming in the rain

A                                        D
We're still the same inside you know, no wrinkles on the soul
    E                    A        E
Our bodies will grow old together
A                                      D
When all the stars are shining bright, why don't we go back tonight
E            A
When we were kids
[Chorus] x2
D                    E          A
When I could see my name on the moon
    D             E       A
And show you the Southern Cross
    D       E       F#m
Go swimming in the rain
