Em G D A

[Intro]
EM G D

[Verse 1]
        Em               G     
She was born by northern rivers
           D                          
Where the land breathes fire and flood
        Em                 G   
She can tell the coming weather
            D                       
In her bones, her body and her blood
        Em    G                 D  
I was born here on the southern bay
         Em      G              D          
Concerning myself, I don't have much to say

[Verse 2]
            Em                G     
Well, she grew up on northern rivers
          D                                
Coloured birds sang her out of bed each day
           Em                 G     
She made friends with wild creatures
               D                               
They were her dreaming, her study, and her play
           Em              G            D   
She's kind of wild too, hard to keep in view
           Em   G                D
The more I know her, the less I do

[Verse 3]
              Em                 G    
And she came down from northern rivers
          D                           
Made her home here on the southern bay
             Em                G    
The winter wind here make her shiver
            D                          
But she discovers new wonders every day
                Em    G            D  
She's got some wonder, I'm telling you
            Em    G        D      
The more I know her, the less I do

[Interlude]
EM G D A x2

[Verse 4]
        Em                         G    
Now the birds here have had their season
         D                              
They are fed up and getting ready to fly
         Em              G     
She will always have her reason
             D                             
To take her leave in the good old by and by
         Em         G               D  
Whatever she does to herself she's true
           Em     G            D 
The more I know her the less I do

[Outro]
         Em     G              D   
I was born here on the southern bay
             Em       G                   D  
There ain't much more now, that I need to say
