Khe Sanh Cold Chisel
Cold Chisel â?? Khe Sanh
Capo 5th Fret
Chords respective to capo (so play a Bm but the note is Em)
I [Bm]left my heart to the [G]sappers round Khe Sanh[D] [A]
And my [Bm]soul was sold with my [G]cigarettes to the[A] blackmarket man[F#]
I've had the [Bm]Vietnam cold [G]turkey
[D] [G]
And it's [Em]only other [C]vets could under[A]stand
About the [Bm]long forgotten [G]dockside guaran[D]tees
[A]How there were [Bm]no V-day [G]heroes in [A]1973
[F#]How we sa[Bm]iled into Sydney H[G]arbour
Saw an [D]old friend but I couldn't [G]kiss her
She was [Em]lined, and I was [A]home to the lucky lan[D]d[G] [D] [A]
And she was [Bm]like so many [G]more from that time [D]on[A]
Their [Bm]lives were all so [G]empty, till they [A]found their chosen one
[F#]And their [Bm]legs were often o[G]pen
But their [D]minds were always c[G]losed
And their [Em]hearts were held in [C]fast suburban [A]chains
And the [Bm]legal pads were [G]yellow, hours [D]long, pay-packet lean[A]
And the [Bm]telex writers cl[G]attered where the g[A]unships once had been[F#]
[Bm]Car parks make me [G]jumpy
And I [D]never stopped the [G]dreams
Or the [Em]growing need for s[A]peed and novocaine[D] [G] [D] [A]
So I [Bm]worked across the [G]country from end to [D]end
[A]Tried to f[Bm]ind a place to s[G]ettle down, where my m[A]ixed up life could mend
[F#]Held a [Bm]job on an [G]oil-rig
Flying [D]choppers when I [G]could
But the [Em]nightlife nearly d[C]rove me round the [A]bend
And I've [Bm]travelled round the [G]world from year to [D]year[A]
And [Bm]each one found me a[G]imless, one more [A]year the worst for wear
And [F#]I've been [Bm]back to South East [G]Asia
And the [D]answer sure ain't [G]there
But I'm d[Em]riftin' north, to c[A]heck things out aga[D]in[G] [D] [A]

[Em] [A] [D] [G] [D] [A]
Well the l[Bm]ast plane out of S[G]ydney's almost g[D]one[A]
And o[Bm]nly seven flying h[G]ours, and I'll be l[A]anding in Hong Kong
[F#]There ain't [Bm]nothing like the k[G]isses
[D] [G]
I'm gonna [Em]hit some Hong Kong [C]mattress all night [A]long
Well the [Bm]last plane out of S[G]ydney's almost g[D]one
[A]You know the [Bm]last plane out of Sy[G]dney's almost g[A]one
[F#]And it's [Bm]really got me wor[G]ried
I'm goin [D]nowhere and I'm in a [G]hurry
You know the [Em]last plane out of [A]Sydney's almost [D]gone
[A]Well the l[Bm]ast plane out of S[G]ydney's almost g[D]one
