[Verse 1 - No drums] I [Em] left my heart to the [C] sappers round Khe Sanh [G][C][G][D] And my [Em] soul was sold with my [C] cigarettes to the [D] Black [D6] market [D7] man [B] I've had the [Em] Vietnam cold [C] turkey, from the [G] ocean to the [G/F#] silver [C] city And it's [Am] only other [F] vets would understand [D][D6][D7][B] About the [Em] long forgotten [C] dockside guarantees [G][C][G][D] How there were [Em] no V-day [C] heroes in [D] 19 [D6] 7 [D7] 3 [B] How we [Em] sailed into Sydney [C] harbour, Saw an [G] old friend but [G/F#] couldn't [C] kiss her She was [Am] lined, and I was [D] home to the lucky land [G][C][G][D]
[Verse 2 - Drums in] And she was [Em] like so many [C] more from that time on [G][C][G][D] Their [Em] lives were all so [C] empty, till they [D] found their [D6] chosen [D7] one [B] And their [Em] legs were often [C] open But their [G] minds were [G/F#] always [C] closed And their [Am] hearts were held in [F] fast suburban [D] chains [D6][D7][B]
And the [Em] legal pads were [C] yellow, hours [G] long, pay [C] packet [G] lean [D] And the [Em] telex writers [C] clattered where the [D] gunships [D6] once had [D7] been [B] But the [Em] car parks made me [C] jumpy And I [G] never [G/F#] stopped the [C] dreams Or the [Am] growing need for [D] speed and novacaine [G][C][G][D]
[Verse 3] So I [Em] worked across the [C] country end to end [G][C][G][D] Tried to [Em] find a place to [C] settle down, where my [D] mixed up [D6] life could [D7] mend [B] Held a [Em] job on an [C] oil-rig Flying [G] choppers [G/F#] when I [C] could But the [Am] nightlife nearly [F] drove me round the bend [D][D6][D7][B] And I've [Em] travelled round the [C] world from year to year [G][C][G][D] And [Em] each one found me [C] aimless, one more [D] year the [D6] worse for [D7] wear [B] And I've been [Em] back to South East [C] Asia But the [G] answer [G/F#] sure ain't [C] there But I'm [Am] drifting north, to [D] check things out a [G] gain [C][G][D]
