INTRO:

C G Am G F C Dm G

verse 1:

Am                     F                 C Csus4 C
I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
       Am                      F               G  Am  G
And i sold my soul with my cigarettes to the black market man
             Am              F        
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey 
          C                   F
from the ocean to the silver city 
          Dm        A#              G    Am  G
And it's only other Vets could understand 

verse 2

             Am             F            C  Csus4  C
About the long forgotten dockside guarantees 
               Am       F           G     Am     G
How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen seventy three 
         Am                  F
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
         C                        F
 saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her
             Dm          G                 C  F  C
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land 
 

verse 3:

              Am          F                 C  Csus4  C
And she was like so many more from that time on
        Am              F                 G         Am    G  
Their lives were all so empty, till they'd found their chosen one
            Am              F
And their legs were often open
           C                 F
but their minds were always closed
            Dm                A#              G  Am  G 
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains


verse 4:

         Am               F           C       Csus4  C
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypackets lean
         Am               F                G    Am       G   
And the telex writers clattered were the gunships once had been 
         Am                F
But the car parks made me jumpy
        C                 F
And it never stopped the dreams
         Dm              G           C     F  C
or the growing need for speed and novacaine

verse 5:

      Am                 F     C Csus4 C
So I worked across the country end to end
          Am              F                    G        Am       G  
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
       Am           F
Held a job on an oil-rig
          C             F
flying choppers when I could
           Dm             A#                G   Am    G
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend 

verse 6:

           Am                  F                C  Csus4  C
And I've travelled round the world from year to year
     Am                   F               G      Am/D     G
And each one's found me aimless, one more year the worse for wear
                Am                 F
And I've been back to South East Asia
         C                F
but the answer sure ain't there
          Dm              G                 C F C
But I'm drifting North to check things out again

verse 7:

              Am                F              C  Csus4  C
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
      Am           F                 G      Am     G
Only seven flying hours and I'll  be landing in Hong Kong
              Am              F          
There ain't nothing like the kisses
        C             F
From a jaded Chinese Princess
           Dm                A#                 G-Am-G
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long

verse 8:

               Am                F              C-Csus4-C 
Well know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
                   Am            F             G-Am-G
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
            Am            F
and it's really got me worried 
          C                    F
I'm going nowhere and I'm in a hurry
          Dm              G              C  G/B
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone  

 Am                F              C   Csus4  C 
Well know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
                   Am            F             G  Am    G
You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
            Am            F
and it's really got me worried 
          C                    F
I'm going nowhere and I'm in a hurry
          Dm              G              C  F C F C
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
