[G] Thank you very much.
Thank you.
It's good to be back.
I'd like to do a song now, which was the first song that Axiom recorded as a single.
And it was way back in the mid-60s, and back then it was accused of being Australia's first drug song.
Which couldn't possibly have been true, considering it was the 60s.
Even so, even nowadays, the spectre of drugs follow us around on tour everywhere we go.
I notice that nightly, Jimmy has to make that decision, that one decision every night,
whether or not he's had one or two helpings of Metamucil.
It's cruel, isn't it?
It's hard.
He'll lick it though, I'm sure.
Turns out it's not about drugs, but it was about war.
One, two, three, four.
[F] [G]
[F] [G] General McAllister [C] gave up the wars.
[D] All of the people [C] went back [G] to Detroit.
All the king's horses [C] and all the king's men to [G] go home.
[D] [G] [D] [G] And all of the people [C] were on the same side.
[D] Didn't know where to run, [C] now where [G] to hide.
All of us here in [C] the great, tight and cold, in the [G] strong.
[D] [G] So yeah, yeah.
If [C] you just listen, sir, once [G] again, to [C] the reasons of what he [G] meant.
If [C] you make all his things come [G] to pass, then [F] I could lay [C] on Arkansas [G] grass.
[C] [D] Oh, [G] oh, [Em] to [Am] the sound [D] of the [G] military brand.
[C] [D] Oh, oh, [G] brothers [Em] of mine, [F] laying [C] on [G] Arkansas [F] grass [G] once again.
Sing it, girls.
[F] [G] [F] [G] So, Gailie, we marched [C] through the green and the red.
[D] To the first [C] time, I could [G] hear you say it.
We never even thought [C] that so very few [G] would go.
[D] [G] [D] [G] Everything went so wrong, [C] we were so delighted.
[D] So, now, we're done, [C] finally [G] free.
And all of us here [C] with a feeling that our lives [G] were going [D] on.
[G] Oh, yeah.
[C] If you just listen, sir, [G] once again, [C] to the reasons of what [G] he meant.
[C] If you make all his things [G] come to pass, [F] then I could lay [C] on [G] Arkansas grass.
