1.I see the sky is turning grey this afternoon

The local football crowd has gone home defeated once a-gain
|Dm |C |G | |

2.This wind that blows knows me now too damn well
I must have been blown to a hundred different places, who can tell
But if I just keep walking under this faithful sky
There'll be a place for me sometime, it might be tonight
Could be right here tonight, I could hang up my wings
Do a good thing, in Melbourne town
3.And I'm walking along with my two best feet ahead of me
And I'd like to think there's always something we can do
To change direction in our lives
Something we can do even in the next half hour
We might do it in Melbourne town, we could do it in Melbourne town
Admit no defeat, we can land on our feet
4.I know there's other places of sand and surf and sunny skies
I know there's a million places money can sell or buy
And I might be swimming against the overwhelming tide
Of northern migration
But I'll have rain, I'll have rain on my shoes, please
Win or lose, rain on my shoes
