Hey guys, I wanted to share a superb song by Colin Hay - Are we there yet.
I don't know some of chords names, so it seems easier to note it by the
actual notes used in some of them.
It goes with standard tuning:

[Verse 1]
D
Going through the motions
G A
Walking round the car
D
We’ve traveled many miles
G A
Though not so very far
Bm
When I check the side view mirror
G D
I think of you my dear
Em
You’re always very close
G A
Closer than you appear
And you’d say
[Chorus]
Bm A
Are we there yet?
G D
As we drive into the sun
Em
We are almost there my love
G A
My innocent one
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D
I find my mind wandering
G A
Back down this old road
D
In my trusty time machine
G A
My thoughts on overload
Bm
Child of mine your light still shines
G D
Where did the time go?
Em
It’s here there and everywhere
G A
Always fast and never slow
And you’d say
[Chorus]
Bm A
Are we there yet?
G D
As we drive into the sun
Em
We are almost there my love
G A
My innocent one
Bm A
A picture perfect moment
G D
A moment we could share
Em
Laughter from the back seat
G A
We’re always almost there
