Chords for ♪♫ Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh (cover)

_ _ This one for you [Bb] non-Aussies is one of those classic [Eb] Aussie pub piss-up anthem
songs that everyone [Bb]
tries to sing, doesn't know the words, [G] including me.
_ When you put the capo on the third, just, well, doesn't matter where I put it, I can't sing it.
I [D] can't scream it either, like Jimmy Barnes, but_ Shut up.
Yeah.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ I left my heart with the zappers [Bb] round Kissan
_ [F]
[Gm] And my soul sold [Eb] with the cigarettes [F] to the black market man
[Gm]
Had the Vietnam [Eb] cold turkey [Bb] from the ocean to the [Eb] silver city
[Cm] And it's only [Ab] other vets could [G] understand _
[Gm] A battle long gone from [Eb] [Bb] darkside guaranteed _
There [Gm] were no B [Eb]-Day heroes [F] back in 1973
[Gm] Howie sailed into [Eb] Sydney Harbour, [Bb] a soaring oafin' but I [Eb] couldn't kiss her
[C] She was lyin' and [F] I was home to a [Bb] lucky man _
[Gm] She was like so [Eb] many more from [Bb] that time on _
[Gm] And their lives were [Eb] oh so indie, [F] till they found their chosen [Gm] ones
And their legs were [Eb] often open, [Bb] but their minds were [Eb] always closed
[Cm] And their hearts were [Ab] held in passive [G] rubber chains _
[Gm] Their legal [Eb] pads were yellow, [Bb] hours long payback leave
[Gm] And the telex riders clattered [C] where the gunships once were
[Gm] But the car [Eb] parks make me jump in, [Bb] and I never [Eb] stop the dreams
[Cm] All the growing [G] need for speed [Bb] and overcame _
[Gm] So I worked [Eb] across the country [Bb] from end to end _
[Gm] Tried to find a [Eb] place to settle [G] down, but I'm mixed up like men
[Gm] Held a job [Eb] on an oil rig, [Bb] buying choppies [Eb] when I could
[Cm] But the nightlife [Ab] nearly drove me [G] round the bend _
[Gm] And I've travelled [Eb] round the world from [Bb] year to year _
_ [Gm] Each one [Eb] found me aimless, [F] more year more years [Gm] away
I'll be back to [Eb] South East Asia, [Bb] but the answer sure [Eb] ain't there
[Cm] And I'm drifting [C] north to check out [Bb] things again
You _ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Gm] know the last plane [Eb] out of Sydney's [Bb] almost gone _
[Gm] In seven [Eb] flying hours, [C] I'll be landing in Hong [Gm] Kong
There ain't nothing like [Eb] the kisses [Bb] of a jaded [Eb] Chinese princess
[Cm] Gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night [F] long
_ [Gm]
You know the last [Eb] plane out of Sydney's almost gone
_ [C]
[Gm] You know the last plane [Eb] out of Sydney's [C] almost gone
_ [Gm]
And it's really got [Eb] me worried, [Bb] going nowhere but I'm [Eb] in a hurry
You know the last [G] plane out of Sydney's almost [Bb] gone
You [Gm] know the last plane out of [Bb] Sydney's almost gone
_ [Gm] You know the last [Eb] plane out of Sydney's [C] almost gone
_ [Gm] And it's really [Eb] got me worried, [Bb] going nowhere but [Eb] I'm in a hurry
[Cm] You know the last plane [F] out of Sydney's almost [Bb] gone _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I know, the singing sucked.
