| G | * | Em |
| Almost hea | ven, | Tararua |
| D7 | C | * | G |
| Whakapapa, | never | mind the | weather |
| G | * | Em |
| Life is cold | there, | colder than the hail |
| D7 | C | * | G |
| Younger than the mountain, | blowing | up a | gale |
| Em | C |
It's the | place, we be | long |
| * | G | D7 |
| Whakapapa | , magic | mountain |
| C | * | G |
Take me | there, | old Bruce | Road |
| G | * | Em |
| All my memo | ries, | gather round here |
| D7 | C | * | G |
| Falling over, | skiing | through my | fear |
| G | * | Em |
| Dark and clou | dy, | we can't see the sky |
| D7 | C | * | G |
| Misty taste of sulphur, | snowflakes | in my | eye |
| *Em | D7 | G |
| I hear the | voice in the | morning hour it calls me |
| *F | G | D7 |
| The radio | reminds me of the | mountain forecast |
| Em | F | C |
And | skiing down | Tennants I get the | feeling |
| G | D | D7 |
That there | was more snow here | yesterday, | yesterday |
| D7 | G |
Take me | there, old Bruce | Road |
to the tune of Take Me Home Country Roads
