Chords:
Khe Sahn - Cold Chisel 1978Am F CI left my heart to the sappers round Khe SanhAm F G And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket manAm FI've had the Vietnam cold turkeyC AmFrom the ocean to the Silver CityF G And it's only other vets could understandAm F CAbout the long forgotten dockside guaranteesAm F GHow there were no V-day heroes in 1973Am FHow we sailed into Sydney HarbourC AmSaw an old friend but I couldn't kiss herF GShe was lined, and I was home to the lucky landAm F CAnd she was like so many more from that time onAm F GTheir lives were all so empty, till they found their chosen oneAm FAnd their legs were often openC AmBut their minds were always closedF GAnd their hearts were held in fast suburban chainsAm F CAnd the legal pads were yellow, hours long, paypacket leanAm F GAnd the telex writers clattered where the gunships once had beenAm FBut the car parks made me jumpyC AmAnd I never stopped the dreamsF GOr the growing need for speed and novacaineAm F CSo I worked across the country from end to endAm F G Tried to find a place to settle down, where my mixed up life could mendAm FHeld a job on an oil-rigC AmFlying choppers when I couldF GBut the nightlife nearly drove me round the bendAm F CAnd I've travelled round the world from year to yearAm F GAnd each one found me aimless, one more year the more for wearAm FAnd I've been back to South East AsiaC AmBut the answer sure ain't thereF GBut I'm drifting north, to check things out againAm F CYou know the last plane out of Sydney's almost goneAm F GOnly seven flying hours, and I'll be landing in Hong KongAm FThere ain't nothing like the kissesC AmFrom a jaded Chinese princessF GI'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night longAm F CWell the last plane out of Sydney's almost goneAm F GYeah the last plane out of Sydney's almost goneAm FAnd it's really got me worriedC AmI'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurryF GAnd the last plane out of Sydney's almost goneLast Verse x2 I'm not sure how it actually finishes. I finish with a C but I don't think it's right.
