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

Am D G C G D
Em C G G/F# G D
Well the last plane of Sydney' s almost gone.
Em C D
And only seven flying hours, and I' ll be landing in Hong Kong.
Em C G C
And there ain' t nothin' like the kisses from a jaded Chinese princess,
Am F D
I' m gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
Em C G G/F# G D
Well the last plane out of Sydney' s almost gone.
Em C D
You know the last plane out of Sydney' s almost gone.
Em C G C
And it' s really got me worried, I' m going nowhere and I' m in a hurry.
Am D G C G
You know the last plane out of Sydney' s almost gone.
Em C G G/F# G D
Well the last plane out of Sydney' s almost gone.
Em C D
You know the last plane out of Sydney' s almost gone.
Em C G C
And it' s really got me worried, I' m going nowhere and I' m in a hurry.
Am D G C G C G
You know the last plane out of Sydney' s almost gone.
