Cold Chisel - Khe sanh

I ^Emleft my heart to the s^Cappers round Khe S^Gan^Ch ^{G D} And my ^Emsoul was sold with my ^Ccigarettes to the^D Black ^D6market ^D7man ^Ebdim I've had the ^EmVietnam cold ^Cturkey, from the ^Gocean to the silver ^Ccity And it's ^Amonly other ^Fvets would under^Dst^D6and^{D7 Ebdim}

About the ^Emlong forgotten ^Cdockside guaran^Gte^Ces^{G D} How there were ^Emno V-day ^Cheroes in ^D19^D673 ^{D7 Ebdim} How we ^Emsailed into Sydney ^Charbour, Saw an ol^Gd friend but couldn't ^Ckiss her She was ^Amlined, and I was ^Dhome to the lucky ^Gla^Cnd^{G D}

An^Emd she was like so many ^Cmore from that tim^Ge ^Con^{G D} Their liv^Emes were all so e^Cmpty, till they fo^Dund their c^D6hosen ^D7one^Ebdim And their l^Emegs were often o^Cpen But their m^Ginds were always ^Cclosed And their ^Amhearts were held in ^Ffast suburban ^Dch^D6ain^D7s ^Ebdim

And the ^Emlegal pads were ^Cyellow, hours lo^Gng^C, ^Gpa^Dypacket lean And the ^Emtelex writers ^Cclattered where the g^Dun^D6shi^D7ps ^Ebdimonce had been But the ^Emcar parks made me ^Cjumpy And I ^Gnever stopped the d^Creams Or the g^Amrowing need for ^Dspeed and novac^Gai^Cne^{G D}

So I ^Emworked across the ^Ccountry end to en^Gd ^{C G D} Tried to ^Emfind a place to ^Csettle down, where my ^Dmi^D6xed^D7 up^Ebdim life could mend Held a ^Emjob on an ^Coil-rig Flying ^Gchoppers when I c^Could But the ^Amnightlife nearly ^Fdrove me round the ^Dbe^D6nd ^{D7 Ebdim} And I've ^Emtravelled round the ^Cworld from year to ^Gye^Car^{G D} And ^Emeach one found me ^Caimless, one more ^Dyear the worse fo^D6r w^D7ear^Ebdim And I've been ^Emback to South East ^CAsia But the ^Ganswer sure ain't ^Cthere But I'm ^Amdrifting north, to ^Dcheck things out a^Gga^Cin^{G D}

You know the ^Emlast plane out of ^CSydney's almost ^Ggo^Cne^{G D} Only ^Emseven flying ^Chours, and I'll be ^Dlanding ^D6in Hong K^D7ong^Ebdim There ain't ^Emnothing like the ^Ckisses From a ^Gjaded Chinese ^Cprincess Am F D D6 D7 Ebdim\ I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long

Well the ^Emlast plane out of ^CSydney's almost ^Ggo^Cne^{G D} Yeah the ^Emlast plane out of ^CSydney's almost ^Dgo^D6ne ^{D7 Ebdim} And it's ^Emreally got me ^Cworried I'm goin' ^Gnowhere and I'm ^Cin a hurry You know the ^Amlast plane out of ^DSydney's almost ^Ggone^{C G C G}
