I take no credit for this tab, all credit should go to Dean Povey who made everything in this tab, all i did was put the chords above the words in the latter verses.

Verse -----

I ^EmLeft my heart to the ^Csappers round, Khe Sa^Ghn.^G/F# ^G ^D And my ^Emsoul was sold with my ^Ccigarettes, to the^D black market man. I've had the ^EmVietnam cold ^Cturkey, from the ^Gocean to the silver ^Ccity And it's ^Amonly other ^Fvets could under^Dstand. 'Bout the ^Emlong forgotten ^Cdockside guaran^Gtee^G/F#s, ^G ^D How there were ^Emno V-day ^Cheroes in ^Dnineteen seventy-three; How we ^Emsailed into Sydney ^CHarbour, saw an ^Gold friend but I couldn't ^Ckiss her. She was ^Amlined, and I was ^Dhome to the lucky l^Gand ^C ^G ^D

Lyrics ------

1. She was ^Emlike so many ^Cmore from that time ^Gon ^G/F# ^G ^D Their ^Emlives were all so ^Cempty, till they'd ^Dfound there chosen one, And their ^Emlegs were often ^Copen, But their ^Gminds were always^C closed, And their ^Amhearts were held in ^Ffast suburban ^Dchains

2. And the ^Emlegal pads were ^Cyellow, Hours l^Gong p^G/F#aypacke^Gts ^Dlean, And the ^Emtelex writers ^Cclattered Where the ^Dgunships once had been; But the c^Emarparks made me ^Cjumpy, And I ^Gnever stopped the ^Cdreams, Or the ^Amgrowing need for ^Dspeed and nova^Gcain^Ce ^G ^D

3. So I ^Emworked across the ^Ccountry from end to ^Gend^G/F# ^G ^D Tried to ^Emfind a place to ^Csettle down, Where my ^Dmixed up life could mend, Held a ^Emjob on an oil-^Crig, Flying ^Gchoppers when I ^Ccould, But the ^Amnightlife nearly ^Fdrove me round the ^Dbend.

4. And I've ^Emtravelled round the ^Cworld from year to ^Gyea^G/F#r, ^G ^D And ^Emeach one found me ^Caimless One more ^Dyear the worse for wear, And I've ^Embeen back to South East ^CAsia, And the ^Ganswer sure ain't ^Cthere, But I'm ^Amdrifting north, To ^Dcheck things out a^Ggain^C. ^G ^D

5. Well the ^Emlast plane of ^CSydney's almost ^Ggon^G/F#e. ^G ^D And only ^Emseven flying ^Chours, And I'll be ^Dlanding in Hong Kong. And there ^Emain't nothin' like the ^Ckisses From a ^Gjaded Chinese ^Cprincess, I'm ^Amgonna hit some ^FHong Kong mattress ^Dall night long

6. Well the ^Emlast plane out of ^CSydney's almost ^Ggon^G/F#e. ^G ^D You know the ^Emlast plane out of ^CSydney's almost ^Dgone. And it's ^Emreally got me ^Cworried, I'm going n^Gowhere and I'm in a ^Churry. You know the ^Amlast plane out of ^DSydney's almost ^Ggone^C. ^G
