Cold Chisel

"Khe Sahn"


from Mike Hiltonwood - i951612@redgum.bendigo.latrobe.edu.au



- the great Australian pub "do ya know how to play..." song



Em                     C                  G
I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sahn
Em                   C                  D
& I sold my soul and ciggarettes to the black market man
Em                   C                    G                   C
I've had the Vietnam Cold Turkey from the ocean to the Silver City
    Am                  F (FM7?)        D
but thats    only other Vets could understand


Em                     C               G
'bout a long forgotten dock-side guarantee
Em                  C         D
there were no D-day heroes in 1973
Em                            C
and how we sailed into Sydney Harbour,
         G                         C
I saw an old friend but I couldn't kiss her
        Am             F                 D
she was loud and I was home to the lucky land


( same chords )

She was like so many more from that time on
their lives were all so empty 'til they found their chosen one
Although their legs were often open, their minds were always closed
and their hearts were held in fast suburban chains


Now the last train out of Sydneys almost gone.....etc
