[Ab] [B]
[E] On the West Australian gold fields [A] down Kalgoorlie streets [E] so wide
[B] I walked one night and felt as though the past [E] was by my side
The city lights were fading and as I [A] stood up wild
[B] A thousand candles seemed to shine across the golden [E] mile
The clatter of a thousand [A] tents before me [E] on the field
[B] Picks and shovels laid around that worked [E] the golden yield
And figures passed before me in a moving, [A] shifting pile
[B] Their faces turned towards me, ghosts of the [E] golden miles
And
[A] [B]
[E]
someone stood beside me [A] and he watched them [E] moving from
[B] He said, it's getting crowded here, I think I'll [E] move along
His beard was grey and dusty, on his face was not [A] a [B] smile
Paddy Hannan was a quiet man, he opened the [E] golden mile
And then I watched a camel [A] team come [E] swaying down the track
[B] With precious loads of watercots strapped across [E] their backs
The Afghan Thug Mohammed told of new strikes [A] all the while
[B] His turban such a friendly sight along the [E] golden mile
Oh
[A] [B]
[E] I wish those men could see again [A] these busy streets [E] today
[B] And hear the giant thrushes as the mine works [E] roar away
Kalgoorlie speaks of history and it keeps their [A] memories [B] alive
And I'll never be forgotten, ghosts of the [E] golden mile
Oh [B] I'll never be forgotten, ghosts of [E] the golden mile
[E] On the West Australian gold fields [A] down Kalgoorlie streets [E] so wide
[B] I walked one night and felt as though the past [E] was by my side
The city lights were fading and as I [A] stood up wild
[B] A thousand candles seemed to shine across the golden [E] mile
The clatter of a thousand [A] tents before me [E] on the field
