Capo 5th Fret Chords respective to capo (so play a Bm but the note is Em)
BmGDA I left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh BmGAF# And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man BmG I've had the Vietnam cold turkey DG From the ocean to the Silver City EmCA And it's only other vets could understand
BmGD About the long forgotten dockside guarantees ABmGA How there were no V-day heroes in 1973 F#BmG How we sailed into Sydney Harbour DG Saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her EmADGDA She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land
BmGDA And she was like so many more from that time on BmGA Their lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen one F#BmG And their legs were often open DG But their minds were always closed EmCA And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains
BmGDA And the legal pads were yellow, hours long, pay-packet lean BmGAF# And the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had been BmG Car parks make me jumpy DG And I never stopped the dreams EmADGDA Or the growing need for speed and novocaine
BmGD So I worked across the country from end to end ABmGA Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mend F#BmG Held a job on an oil-rig DG Flying choppers when I could EmCA But the nightlife nearly drove me round the bend
BmGDA And I've travelled round the world from year to year BmGA And each one found me aimless, one more year the worst for wear F#BmG And I've been back to South East Asia DG And the answer sure ain't there EmADGDA But I'm driftin' north, to check things out again

BmGDA Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone BmGA And only seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong Kong F#BmG There ain't nothing like the kisses DG From a jaded Chinese princess EmCA I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long
BmGD Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone ABmGA You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone F#BmG And it's really got me worried DG I'm goin nowhere and I'm in a hurry EmAD You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone
