Chords for Rise Against - I Was Only 19 (Redgum Cover) Acoustic - Live in Melbourne

_ _ _ You _ [E] guys _ _ _ _ alright? _ _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Ab] I'm real happy that [Abm] we got to come back and do a full proper show here in Melbourne.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ [B] _ Because you guys always make [Abm] me some memorable _ occasions.
You [B] _ _ _
know, _ _ _ _ I was talking earlier about how we get [Ab] to travel around the [Abm] world.
When you get to a place like this, you get to see a lot of people.
You learn about different places, you learn [Gb] about that place and the culture.
You learn about the [B] way it's similar, you [E] learn about the ways that it's different.
And being here, we learn about the different [Abm] food, _ the different [B] ways to party. _ _
_ _ [E] _ [B] And a lot of the music _ that comes out of Australia is from [Gb] incredible bands. _ _
[Abm] _ A friend of mine told me about a song [Bm]
by a band I never heard of, a band called Red Goat.
_ [Gb] _ _
_ And I love this song [E] for so many reasons.
But it shows that _ [Abm] something like war and violence, [B]
it knows no border or flag.
[Gb] It's the same for a lot of places and a lot of people.
And [E] this song kind of moved me. _
I want to do a song by Red Goat called I Was Only [Abm] 19. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ Someone's got to line the footpath, [Db] house we march down to [Ab] the park.
[Ebm]
This clip me in from the paper, [Db] showed us young and strong and [Ab] frank.
_ [F] And there's me in [Eb] my slouch hat, [Db] and I guess I'm all [Ab] alone.
God [Eb] help me, _ _ _ _ I was [Db] only 19. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] And we're riding [B] shepherds [Gb] to the dust in New [Db] England.
[Abm] I've been reading out of [B] shopbooks and [Abm] alphabets. _
_ _ And we made our [B] checks at home, [Gb] V.P..M. pinups [Db] on the blockers. [Abm] And we're eating horses _ in the sky. _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Can you tell me, doctor, [Db] why I still can't [Ab] get to sleep? [Ebm] And night time's just a jungle [Db] dog, and parking's down [Ab] 16. _ [F] And what's this rash [Eb] of cancer, nurse? [Ab] Can you tell me what it means? [Eb] God help me. _ _ _ _ I was only [Db] 19. _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] A four week operation, waiting [Gb] to step into me and you [Ab] last year. _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ But you wouldn't [B] let your mix down [Db] till they had you adjusted. So you [Abm] called for us, thought about it for some minutes. _ _ [Ebm] There's someone in our contact, [Db] and the block behind [Ab] me's far. [Ebm] We hugged him there for hours, [Db] then I got on [Ab] my walk. _ [F] Frankie [Eb] kicked my, _ [Db] David, my, God, [Ab] kick the door. [Eb] God help me. _ _ _ _ He was going [Db] wild in the jungle. _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ And I can [Abm] still see Frankie, [Gb] with his two knees [Db] in the ground. He'll turn [Abm] in a 36 [B] hour, late evening [Abm] time. _ _ _ And I can still [B] hear Frankie, lying [Gb] screaming [Db] in the jungle. [Abm] Till the mother came, and killed the bloody rat. _ _ _ [Ebm] I mean, I'm Zach Legends, didn't [Db] mention, heart and blood, [Ab] he tells. The [Eb] stories that my father told, [Db] they never seemed [Ab] quite real. [F] I got some kisses [Eb] on my way, [Db] I was only [Ab] 15. _ [Eb] God help me. _ _ _ _ I was [Db] only 19. _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
