Verse 1

FmI left my heart to the C♯sappers round Khe SG♯anhG♯sus4 G♯ D♯/G

 And i sFmold my soul with my cigaC♯retts to the blacD♯k maFmrkeD♯t maD♯n

EdimI've had the FmVietnam cold turC♯key

 from the oG♯cean to the silver ciC♯ty

 And it's oA♯mnly other VF♯ets could undersD♯tand Fm D♯/G D♯

Verse 2

 About the lonFmg forgotten docC♯kside guarenteG♯es G♯sus4 G♯ D♯/G

 How there were Fmno V-dD♯ay hC♯eroes in nineD♯/Gteen seFmventy tD♯hree

 How we saFmiled into Sydney HarC♯bour

  saw an oG♯ld friend but I couldn't kC♯iss her

 She was linedA♯m, and I was hD♯ome to the lucky laG♯nd C♯ G♯ D♯/G

Verse 3

 And she was liFmke so many mC♯ore from that time G♯on G♯sus4 G♯ D♯/G

 Their liFmves were all D♯so eC♯mpty, till they'd fD♯ound their FmchoA♯sen D♯one Edim

 And their leFmgs were often opC♯en

 but their mG♯inds were always clC♯osed

 And their heA♯marts were held in fF♯ast suburban chaD♯ins Fm A♯ D♯ Edim

Verse 4

 And the lFmegal pads were yeC♯llow, hours lG♯ong, paypG♯sus4ackets lG♯ean D♯/G

 And the tFmelex writers clatC♯tered were the gunD♯ships FmoncA♯e had bD♯een Edim

 But the cFmar parks made me jC♯umpy

 And it nG♯ever stopped the drC♯eams

 or the grA♯mowing need for spD♯eed and novacG♯aine C♯ G♯

Verse 5

 So I wFmorked across the coC♯untry eG♯nd G♯sus4to end G♯ D♯/G

 Tried to fFmind a place to sC♯ettle down, where my mD♯ixed up liFmfe A♯could mD♯end Edim

 Held a Fmjob on an oilC♯-rig

 flying choG♯ppers when I coC♯uld

 But the nigA♯mhtlife nearly drF♯ove me round the bD♯end Fm D♯ D♯ Edim

Verse 6

 And I've trFmavelled round the woC♯rld from year to yG♯ear G♯sus4 G♯ D♯/G

 And eFmach one's found me aiC♯mless, one more yD♯ear the FmworA♯se for D♯wear

 And i'Edimve been bFmack to South East AC♯sia

 but the aG♯nswer sure aint thC♯ere

 But I'm drA♯mifting North to cD♯heck things ouit agG♯ainC♯ G♯

this fills the next bit:

 I'm gonna hA♯mit some Hong Kong mF♯atress all night loD♯ng Fm D♯ D♯ Edim

 I'm goin nG♯owhere and I'm in a huC♯rry

 And the laA♯mst plane out of SD♯ydney's almost gG♯one D♯/G

 WFmell know the last C♯plane out of SydG♯ney'sG♯sus4 almost G♯gonD♯/Ge

 You know the last pFmlane out of SyC♯dney's almost gD♯one Fm A♯ D♯

 aEdimnd it's reFmally got me woC♯rried

 I'm goin nG♯owhere and I'm in a huC♯rry

 And the laA♯mst plane out of SD♯ydney's almost gG♯one C♯ G♯ C♯ G♯
