[Verse 1]
Em C G G/F# G D
I left my heart to the sappers round, Khe Sahn.
Em C D Dsus4 D5 B
And my soul was sold with my cigarettes, to the black market man.
Em C G C
I've had the Vietnam cold turkey, from the ocean to the silver city
Am F D Dsus4 D5 D
And it's only other vets could understand.

[Verse 2]
Em C G G/F# G D
'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees,
Em C D Dsus4 D5 B
How there were no V-day heroes in nineteen seventy-three;
Em C G C
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour, saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her.
Am D G C G D
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land
