[E] [A] [E]
[B] [G#m] [B] [E]
Should ever I go back to Camel Wheel, Would be in spring when desert flowers [B] bloom,
All the spinifex I know would still be there, And the desert tea would brighten [E] up the gloom.
Should ever I go back to Camel Wheel, One thing is sure, I'd not be [A] twenty-two,
As in that day when I first [E] wandered there, [B] But memories stay with me as [E] memories do.

[B] [E]
How fresh a memory keeps for still I feel, The velvet softness of her [B] woven hair,
And see again the moonbeams in her eyes, As I did so long ago when [E] I was there.
You've called to you, been that now distant day, I did not heed, my heart did [A] not reveal,
And now I know that love was [E] born and lost, [B] In that little border town of [E] Camel Wheel.

[B] [E]
All the long roads beckoned on my feet let go, To search beyond the hills for [B] what I'd find,
Although I've wandered far this sunburned land, I never found what I had [E] left behind.
Oh, the burning fire of that other spring, Is now that ashes and the [A] hurt won't heal,
Time heals all wounds, they save at [E] least the scars, [B] So I think I'll not go back to [E] Camel Wheel.
