Dm C
You're looking hungry cobber, here plant your arse down mate
Am G
would you like some mashed potatoes with that burger on your plate?
F C
it's been another long shift here at the Cooper Pedy mess
Bb Dm
but if you've got a minute I’ve got something on my chest
Dm C
The 24th of August back in 20 10
Am G
I was working out of Tarin Kowt with a squad of 20 men
F C
the Dutch had pulled the pin leaving Uruzgan for good
Bb Dm
it fell to us to fill the void to the west in Deh Rawud
Dm C
It had been a lethal summer starting back in June
Am G
We’d lost Smithy, Snowy, Palmer, Aplin, Chucky and then Bewes
F C
August took down Jason Brown then Kirbs and Thomas Dale
Bb Dm
On the morning of their service, we set out on Route Whale
Dm C
I was carrying the Maximi a thumping belt fed gun
Am G
With an action like a jackhammer, the weapon weighed a tonne
F C
We drove south of the Tangi to an RV where we met
Bb Dm
with two brick of boys from Anur Joy and we turned for Derapet
Dm C
Lance Jack McKinney - the boys all called him ‘Crash’
Am G
he was the fastest bastard we all knew for distance or for dash
F C
a soldier's bloody soldier and the fittest man I’ve met
Bb Dm
I was proud to walk beside him on approach to Derapet
Dm C
60 clicks out in the sticks to the west of Tarin Kowt
Am G
the sappers saw the FAMS move in and the women all clear out
F C
a TIC was what we wanted, a TIC was what we’d get
Bb Dm
it was only a matter of when and where in the fields of Derapet
Dm C
Me and Crash were partnered in reserve back at the rear
Am G
although we weren't at point that day I felt and smelt the fear
F C
The boys kept probing forward through the aqueduct and sluice
Bb Dm
Till from a nearby tree line I could see all hell break loose
Dm C
They’d had hit a complex ambush of about a 100 men
Am G
the chattering of AKs and the thud of PKMs
F C
the rounds were whistling around em but we couldn't tell where from
Bb Dm
Cause the Talibs had concealment from the tree line and the corn
Dm C
A call came on the ICOM to come forward from the back
Am G
they needed my machine gun at the front of the attack
F C
so me and Crash we hoofed it as the rounds around us cracked
Bb Dm
running with that weapon and my armour and my pack
Dm C
We’d come 600m through the muddy aquaduct
Am G
by the time we reached the front line, frankly I was fucked
F C
my mind said just said keep going but my body just said nope
Bb Dm
and I collapsed back on my pack at the bottom of the slope
Dm C
Crash grabbed my Maximi and hauled it up to the crest
Am G
that's why he was where he was when the round burst through his chest
F C
I looked up in that instant and I never will forget
Bb Dm
As he spun around and crashed facedown in the dust of Derapet
Dm C
Wooly called for dust off we were too far from the cars
Am G
We worked on Crash for an hour taking turns on CPR
F C
the chopper came and medevac’d him back in to TK
Bb Dm
Where the Doctor at the Role 2 declared him DOA
Dm C
Meanwhile, Keighran broke cover dancing dangerous and strange
Am G
A hundred Talib muzzles flashed untill the Aslav's found their range
F C
Between those Guncars the Apache and the M777
Bb Dm
Many Talibs became martyrs with their virgins up in heaven
Dm C
the battle soon was over they had lost their will fight
Am G
they left their dead and dying they’d pick em up that night
F G
we walked back to the Aslavs and crawled into the FOB
Bb Dm
I remember sitting quietly with Langer, Sean and Rob
Dm C
Fanners ran the section through an after action brief
Am G
I tuned in though exhausted I was numb with shame and grief
F C
The BDA said by the way there’s 30 of them dead
Bb Dm
and so they say we won the day and the Battle of Derapet.
Dm C
Am G
F C
Bb Dm
Dm C
Beckie’s waters broke at the crematorium
Am G
Just a few hours later, she gave birth to their son
F C
the boys help out with mowing and she got some compo cash
Bb Dm
Helps pay the bills but it wont fill the hole where once was Crash
Dm C
Langers won selection, Daniel Keighran got a gong
Am G
Abbott won the election, and Fred Smith got his song
F C
those who get their accolades deserve all they get
Bb Dm
but Crash did not deserve to die at the Battle of Derapet
Dm C
I came back to Brisbane and got out on civvie street
Am G
Now I’m working in this mine, mate, in this mess we're miners eat
F C
I married now with children to a woman named regret
Bb Dm
the price you pay for a summers day in the fields of Derapet
