[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.”
G     D7/F#   C       D7/F#
G     D7/F#   C

[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.”
G     D7/F#   C       D7/F#
G     D7/F#   C

[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]
G     D7/F#   C       D7/F#
G     D7/F#   C
G     D7/F#   C       D7/F#
Em               C
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#
