Mum and Dad and Denny saw the passing-out parade at Puckapunyal
                                     G                                 Am  
It was a long march from cadets
Am                                                                    C                                                              G                                      D  
The sixth battalion was the next to tour, and it was me who drew the card
                  Am                                 G                                      Am  
We did Canungra, Shoalwater before we left
          E                                                                                              D                                                 A  
And Townsville lined the footpaths as we marched down to the quay
             E                                                                                    D                                                    A  
This clipping from the paper shows us young and strong and clean
          F#m                                    E                                              D                 A  
And there's me in my slouch hat with my SLR and greens
          E                                                            D  
God help me, I was only nineteen
             Am                                      C                                         G                            D  
From Vung Tau, riding Chinooks, to the dust at Nui Dat
                        Am                              G                                         Am  
I'd been in and out of choppers now for months
                  Am                                      C                              G                                 D  
But we made our tents a home, VB and pinups on the lockers
                  Am                            G                                              Am  
And an agent orange sunset through the scrub
E                                                                         D                                                    A  
And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
E                                                                                                 D                      A  
And night-time's just a jungle dark and a barking M16?
          F#m                                                 E                                                            D                                      A  
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
          E                                                            D  
God help me, I was only nineteen.
  Am                              C                                      G                                                    D  
A four week operation when each step could mean your last one on
Am  
two legs
                        G                                    Am  
It was a war within yourself
                     Am                                         C                                                 G                                    D  
But you wouldn't let your mates down til they had you dusted off
                  Am                                                 G                                                            Am  
So you closed your eyes and thought about something else
             E                                                                                                 D                                      A  
Then someone yelled out "Contact!" and the bloke behind me swore
        E                                                                                      D                            A  
We hooked in there for hours, then a Godalmighty roar
F#m                                    E                                            D                                              A  
Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon
          E                                                                            D  
God help me, he was going home in June
Am                                    C                                            G                                    D  
I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel
             Am                                    G                                            Am  
On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau
          Am                                      C                                    G                                         D  
And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle
                     Am                                         G                                            Am  
Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row
                     E                                                                         D                                            A  
And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears
                     E                                                                              D                                              A  
And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real
     F#m                                         E                                      D                                 A  
I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel
          E                                                            D  
God help me, I was only nineteen
          E                                                                         D                                                    A  
And can you tell me, doctor, why I still can't get to sleep?
          E                                                                            D                                      A  
And why the channel Seven chopper chills me to my feet?
          F#m                                                 E                                                            D                                      A  
And what's this rash that comes and goes, can you tell me what it means?
          E                                                            D  
God help me, I was only
