• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: E

Intro:

Em   A  D


Verse 1:
D
I’m sitting here with memories
   A
Reading letters from old friends
         G                     D        Bm
Dreaming I am back with those pals of mine
       Em          Bm     A
In the good times once again
          D
I see the mountain trail
D

We used to ride
    G             D
The Murray river flowing
      G                         D      Bm
Where once stood the homestead of my youth
       Em       A        D
In the days of old Khancoban


Chorus:
G                F#m
Memories, sweet memories
       G          A        D
Of the days when we were younger
            G                    F#m
We’d ride a hundred miles for a lady’s smile
     E7             A
To a dance at Tumbarumba
           D
I hear the haunting strains of
                  G                D
Hobble chains and bells on cattle roamin’
   G                 D        Bm
As down the Toolong track I ride
      Em       A        D      G   D  Bm  Em  A  D
Going home to old Khancoban


Verse 2:
D
Hoof beats echo down the range
     A
From brumbies on the run
G                   D        Bm
White faced cattle string along
            E                 A
Through the mist and morning sun
          D
Where the Geehi river meets the Murray
         G            D
With the song that never ends
         G            D         Bm
Like the everlasting mateship there
       Em         A     D
In the handshake of a friend


Chorus:
G                F#m
Memories, sweet memories
       G         A       D
Of the songs we sang together
        G                        F#m
We were mustering then with the best of men
    E7                   A
And shared their saddle leather
       D
What a welcome sight
D
When we were riding back
       G               D
To the homestead fire glowin’
            G
Through the dark of the night
            D        Bm
To see that guiding light
   Em       A        D
Of home in old Khancoban
            G
Through the dark of the night
            D        Bm
To see that guiding light
   Em       A        G      D
Of home in old Khancoban
