   Am                  G          F            C
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

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
F                   C             Am             G
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
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
I 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"


Well when I get to Cable Beach
I'll fall right out of the truck and into the sea
With my clothes still on I'll plunge under the waves
And all the dirt will drain away
And just like Bunjil I'll get two dogs
And every evening I'll walk them along
On the edge of the country take in the view
