Camooweal chords

[VERSE 1]
[E]Should ever I go back to Camooweal,
T'would be in the spring when desert flowers [B7]bloom.

Oh the spinifex I know would still be there
And the desert pea would brighten up the [E]gloom

Should [E]ever I go back to Camooweal
One thing is sure I'd not be twenty-[A]two,
As if that day when I first wandered [E]there,
But [B7]mem'ries stay with me as mem'ries [E]do.

[VERSE 2]
[E]How fresh her mem'ry keeps for still I feel
The velvet softness of her auburn [B7]hair,

And see again the moonbeams in her eyes
As I did so long ago when I was [E]there.

Youth [E]called to youth in that now distant day.
I did not heed, my heart did not [A]reveal,
And now I know that love was born and [E]lost
In that [B7]little border town of Camoo[E]weal.

[VERSE 3]
[E]Oh, the long road beckoned on, my feet said go
To search beyond the hills for what I'd [E]find.

Although I've wandered far this sunburnt land
I've never found what I have left [E]behind.

Oh the [E]burning fire of that other spring
Is now but ashes, and the hurt won't [A]heal
Time heals all wounds they say, but leaves the [E]scar,
So I [B7]think I'll not go back to Camoo[E]weal,

Time [A]heals all wounds they say, but leaves the [E]scar
So I [B7]think I'll not go back to Camoo[E]weal.

No, I [B7]think I'll not go back to Camoo[E]weal.
