To perform a tribute to the Vietnam vets with the Battle of Long Tan, please welcome Graham Roger folks.
In 1966 the [Eb] Australians were [Ab] new to [Db] the new EDAT [Ab] base and the numbers [Eb] were few.
The [Db] VC [Ab] decided [Eb] they'd be easy to beat.
[Fm] [Ab] They'd humble the Aussies [Eb] with a crushing [Ab] defeat.
For the 18th of August [Eb] they planned [Ab] their attack [Db] with 3,000 [Ab] troops to wipe out [Eb] new EDAT.
But [Db] 108 [Ab] soldiers from [Eb] D Company's [Fm] 6th RGD were [Ab] patrolling that day [Eb] and stood in [Ab] their path.
For a weight in the evening the battle began [Db] in that rubber [Ab] plantation known as Long Tan.
[Bb] [Db] Outlooks were [Eb] outnumbered by 30 [Fm] to 1 but [Ab] nearly 500 would [Eb] fall to their [Ab] guns.
[F] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb]
Though a fighting was fierce as [F] the VC [C] pushed, [Eb] but the Aussies [Bb] held on never giving [F] an inch.
[Eb] With the angel [Bb] of death [F] ever close [Gm] by their side, [Bb] they fought for our country [F] with honour [Bb] and pride.
Our choppers flew in [F] just above the [Bb] treetops [Eb] and in the heat [Bb] of the battle fresh ammo [F] was dropped.
Then the artillery [Bb] boys [F] tore the jungle [Gm] apart [Bb] and the enemy fled [F] under cover of [Bb] dark.
In that great sudden jungle they counted [Bb] out a loss.
[Eb] 24 [Bb] were wounded and 18 [F] men lost.
[Eb] We paid a [Bb] high price [F] to receive [Gm] victory's hand.
[Bb] So here's to the [F] soldiers who fought at [Bb] Long Tan.
So [F] here's to the soldiers who [Bb] fought at Long Tan and [Eb] all other [Bb] battles in South [F] Vietnam.
You [Bb] were fighting for those who would dare to [Eb] be free.
[Bb] Your days will be gone [F] in our [Bb] memories.
[G] So [F] here's to the soldiers [Bb] who fought at Long Tan [Eb] and all other [Bb] battles in South [F] Vietnam.
