Verse:
A D
I love the smell of rivergums, the perfume of the rain
E A E
and going back again to the river
A D
To Murray crays cooked in a tin, boil the billy, toss 'em in

When we were kids

Never wearing any shoes, walking in the sand

Fantasy land together

Slding down the riverbank, collecting mussels till we sank

When we were kids

D E A
When I could see my name on the moon
D E A
And show you the Southern Cross
D E F#m
Go swimming in the rain
Verse:
A D
Pushbikes down a mallee lane in flickers of the sun
E A E
It was always fun together
A D
Swinging on a tire swing, monkeys in a circus ring
E A
When we were kids
D
Like kelpies in a holden ute, riding in the back
E A E
Along the narrow track together
A D
Up on top of a load of wheat, the sort of life you couldn't beat
E A
When we were kids

D E A
When I could see my name on the moon
D E A
And show you the Southern Cross

Go swimming in the rain

We're still the same inside you know, no wrinkles on the soul

Our bodies will grow old together
