Chords for Beccy Cole - Poster Girl

I know [F] that those of you seeing me for the first time
perhaps have gathered by [N] now that I'm an acro-born idiot.
But what you see is what you get with me, you know.
And I'm _ a_ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [F] You know, I think, when it comes down to it,
I think that's why Adam Harvey and [Abm] I get along so well.
[D] His wife kind of calls us the male and female version of each other.
And [F]
everything about Adam Harvey is completely genuine.
And I appreciate that this is the third time that we've been able to tour Natalie together
because he's [N] my hero.
He's just an amazing singer.
He puts his heart and soul into his work.
And to get [Ab] to sit on the side of the stage and watch him every night,
even at night, [N] _ I do absolutely love it.
And to get to [Cm] still be doing this [E] at my age, at 31, I_ LAUGHTER
_ [A] Anyway, _ [F] _ [Abm] all right, there's a few years more than that.
[F] I'm a 72 baby.
Adam's two years younger than me
and he wants to tour [D] with an old [A] bird.
He could tour with any of those young ones, but he wants to tour with an [Abm] old bird.
I'm very pleased and privileged [F] that he wants to still. _
Anyway, I want to sing a song [B] that's from my heart.
I know I act like an idiot most of the time,
but this is my [N] dream to be doing this ever since I was a little girl
with two balloons down my front pretending to be Dolly.
_ _ And [F] in December of this year,
I [Cm] took my band back to the Middle East to [Gbm] entertain the truth again.
Sorry, December [Ab] of 2010.
And [N] I met some more. _
Thank you.
Thank you.
Good evening. _ _
Thank you.
This was my fourth tour of duty that I've done as [Db] an entertainer.
And to go to areas like Egypt and Dubai where [Ab] we have bases
and amazing Australians doing [Dm] incredible jobs
is a thrill for me and to get to put [Ab] on some entertainment.
I took my band.
I also took a fellow by the name of Luz Dickens,
who I'm very proud of, just one [F] star maker.
We took him with us as well.
[N] And I sang this song in a hangar.
The last time I sang this song was in a hangar in Dubai
as a bunch of young Australians, some as young as 18.
Forgive me if I get teary.
We're about [Eb] to go to Afghanistan the next day.
[F] _ _ And gosh, it was emotional. _
So if we spare a moment in this song to think about them,
especially their mothers.
I mean, my little fellow, he's only about to start high school,
but when I receive letters and Facebook messages from mothers saying,
if you see my son, can you give him a hug before he goes on the front line? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You won't listen to my songs anymore.
_ You ripped my poster off the wall. _
_ _ Because I'm the second that went through the wall.
_ You see no good in me at all. _
Well, pardon me if I [Bb] believe that I'm not [F] at wrong.
And before you turn your back on me, [Bb] I'll sing [Dm] you one [C] more song.
_ [F] Because I shook hands with a digger [C] on the wrong side of the world
[D] With a wife at home who [Dm] holds her [Bb] breath and brand new baby [F] girl
And the digger fights her fear [C] in a job that must be done
[D] And I let go of his hand [Dm] so proud to be [F] Australian
[Am] And if I'm like you, feel no [Dm] pride at all
[F] [Am] Then go ahead and take [D] me off your [F] wall
Because [Dm] I prefer to be [C] a poster girl on the wrong [F] side of your wall
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And I'm just a girl who sings the crazy songs
Not qualified to sing judge
_ I've been right and I know I've been wrong _ _
But I'm for peace and I'm for love
And [Dm] I admire the [F] burning [Bb] fire that causes you [F] to fight
[Dm] I only [F] wish the wrong side of the [Bb] world had [C] the same right
_ [F] Because I listened to the wisdom [C] of the Aussie Brigadier
[Am] He [Dm] spoke with old men of orphans [Bb] and the need to dry their [F] tears
And he leads the fighting field [C] in a job that must be done
[Dm] And I am more proud to say [Bb] that I'm Australian
[Am] And if I'm like me, feel no [Dm] pride at all
[F] Then [Am] go ahead and take me off [Dm] your wall
[F] _ Because I prefer to be a poster [C] girl on the wrong [Am] side of your [F] wall
And _ _
_ _ [Dm] maybe I'm naive to think [Bb] we all could get [Dm] along
But sir, I read your words and all [Bb] I ask _ [F] is hear [C] my song _ _ _
_ So [F] _ _ can we really get on the [C] wrong side of the world?
With [Dm] a wife who's on the hold of breath [Bb] and a brand new baby girl
[F] And the biggest fights are free [C] and a job that must be done
And [Dm] I've never been more proud to [Bb] say that I'm [F] Australian
[Am] And if I'm like me, feel no [Dm] pride at all
[F] _ [Am] Then go ahead and take me [Dm] off your wall
[F] Because [Bb] I prefer [F] to be a [C] poster girl on the [Am] wrong [F] side of your wall
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] I'm so [F] proud to be a [C] poster girl on the wrong side of the [F] world
I don't even figure how big it's not _ _ _
