I was hanging round in Sydney and I was going down
Am G F C
I'd done too many parties my money was runnin out
Am G F C
Then I met an old man who lived all a-lone
Am G F C
He had two dogs for company and that's all he owned
F C Am G
He was saving up his pension for a one way fare
F C Am G
Said that when he had enough he was getting out of there
F C Am
I said "really, what are you gonna do?"
G
He smiled and said "there's
F C
good light in Broome"
Am G F C
[Chorus]
G F C
Good light in Broome and I'll be there soon
G F C
I know exactly what I'm a gonna do
G F C
Sit on the beach Stare at the moon
Am G F C
Haven't you heard there's good light in Broome
Am G F C
I went out to Queensland working in the sheds
Am G F C
Met a girl in Quilpie and we got wed
Am G F C
Moved up to the Gulf had our first born
Am G F C
We were livin' in a caravan I was working on the prawns
F C Am G
Came home from a stormy sea She'd up and gone
F C Am
Left a note for me ...... "I'm sick of you"
G F C
That's when I felt there's good light in Broome
Am G F C X2
Am G F C
I headed down south couldn't take the hint
Am G F C
Saw a lot of pubs had a lot to drink
Am G F C
I was running pretty ragged I didn't hardly eat
Am G F C
I was thinking about her and what she did to me
F C Am G
There was a road and a hair-pin bend
F C Am G
Then I woke up in a hospital bed
F C Am
"How do you feel?" said a voice in the room
G F C
I gave the answer "There's good light in Broome"
Am G F C x2
Am G F C
Went trucking out of Melbourne back and forwards to Perth
Am G F C
It didn't take long and it seemed like a curse
Am G F C
My eyes were on the road but my mind was somewhere else
Am G F C
When I pulled in to a Nullarbor roadhouse
F C Am G
Waitress came over and she's there looking at me
F C Am G
She asked me how I was I said "bit ordinary"
F C Am
She said "I thought that might be your tune"
G F C
I said "don't tell me there's good light in Broome"
Am G F C x2
Am G
When I get to Cable Beach
F C
I'll fall right into the sea
Am G F C
With my clothes still on I'll plunge under the waves
Am G F C
And all the dirt will drain away
F C Am G
And just like Bunjil I'll get two dogs
F C Am G
And every evening I'll walk them along
F C Am
On the edge of the country take in the view
G F C
Just like I heard there's good light in Broome
Am G F C X 2
