KHE SANH BY COLD CHISEL - FROM ALBUM EAST
EmI left my heart to theC sappers round Khe SanhG C G D
EmAnd my soul was sold with myC cigaretts to the Dblack market mFan
EmI've had the Vietnam coldC turkey from the Gocean to the silveCr city
AmAn' it's oFnly other Vets cDould understand
EmAbout the long forgotten Cdock side guarenteGe C G D
EmAn' there were no d day Cheros in 1973D F
EmHow we sailed into SydneyC Harbour, saw anG old friend but I couldn'tC kiss her
AmShe was lined and I wasD home to the lucky landG C G D
THIS PATTERN IS REPEATED THROUGH THE SONG.
SOME BITS ARE STILL WRONG BUT THIS IS AS CLOSE AS I CAN GET IT.
Rest Of the Lyrics
And she was like so many more from that time on
Their lives were all so empty, till they'd found their chosen one
And their legs were often open but their minds were always closed
And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypackets lean
And the telex writers clattered were the gunships once had been
But the carparks made me jumpy
And it never stopped the dreams
or the growing need for speed and novacaine
So I worked across the country end to end
Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend
Held a job on an oil rig,flying choppers when I could
But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
And I've travelled round the world from year to year
And each one's found me aimless, one more year the more for wear
And i've been back to South East Asia and the answer sure aint there
But I'm drifting North to check things ouit again
You know the next plane out of Sydney's almost gone,
Only seven flying hour and i'll be landing in Hong Kong
There aint nothin like the kisses from a jaded Chinese Princess
I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong matress al night long
Well know the next plane out of Sydney's almost gone
Yeah the next plane out of Sydney's almost gone
and it's really got me worried
I'm goin nowhere and I'm in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
