verse 1 
G        D7/F#        Em         C   D7/F#  
I set my sails for the New South Wales 
G             D7/F#        C 
Trying to get ahead of the sun 
G        D7/F#        Em         C   D7/F#  
The day I left for the New South Wales 
          Em                                C 
You said, “Babe, don’t forget where you’re from.” 
           Em                                 C 
You said, “Babe, don’t forget where you come from.”

verse 2 
G            D7/F#        Em            C   D7/F#  
Wading in the water on the Scarborough Beach 
G                   D7/F#          C 
Taking pictures of my feet in the sand 
G                         D7/F#          Em            C   D7/F#  
I should be writing you a letter from the Scarborough beach 
          Em                                C 
Saying, “Babe, you won’t believe where I am.” 
          Em                                C 
Saying, “Babe, you won’t believe where I am.”

verse 3 
G               D7/F#          Em          C   D7/F#  
Stopping on the highway at the side of the road 
G                   D7/F#          C 
Staring at a whole new set of stars 
G           D7/F#     Em          C   D7/F#  
I go where I go and I do what I’m told 
          Em                      C 
But it’s easy to forget who you are 
          Em                      C 
But it’s easy to forget who you are 

Bridge 
G     D7/F#        Em     C 
Oh,           you read my mind 
G        D7/F#        Em        C 
Your beauty       can leave me blind 
G               D7/F#      Em    C 
The truth can be cruel and so unkind 
    Bm             C 
But I can’t lie to you 
    Bm             C 
Sometimes I get so blue 
    Bm                   C   D         G 
I don’t want anything to do   with myself 

Solo

Em               C

verse 4 
G        D7/F#          Em          C   D7/F#  
I set my sights on my front porch light 
G                   D7/F#              C 
Trying to shake this feeling that took hold 
G                    D7/F#           Em          C   D7/F#  
Dreaming that you’re leaving on the front porch light 
Em                      C 
Maybe turning lead into gold 
Em                      C 
Maybe turning lead into gold 

Outro 
         F      C    F    C    F    C            G 
Singing, “Shine on, shine on, shine on traveling light” 
F       C     F      C           G     F       C 
Sing a song, sing it for all the right reasons tonight 
G     D7/F#   C       D7/F# 
G     D7/F#   C 
G     D7/F#   C       D7/F# 
G     C      Em       D7/F# 
G     D       C   D    G
