Who came to watch the passing out parade

to the Viet jungle

"Oh Christ", I mumbled as I drew that card

We did Canungra and Shoalwater
A
before we left, rest assured

Seemed half of Townsville turned out
to see us leave
D
And they lined the footpaths
A
as we marched to the quay
E
And the papers wrote it up
like you wouldn't believe

But we were only looking to the future

And there's all of us

looking young, strong and clean
D
A
Rocking slouch hats, slung SLRs and greens

God help me, I was only nineteen

Chinook pilots seemed relieved

Seems like months running on and off
landing pads

Letters to Dad cause it's like man, he's sad
Am
C
But he can't see the tents that we call home

Cans of VB and pin-ups of chicks off TV

The heat, the mosquitoes
A
Like the first time you see
an agent orange horizon

So please, can you tell me doctor

why I can't get to sleep?

Night time's just a jungle

We keep saying, "Rest in peace"

What's this rash that comes and goes?

God help me, I was only nineteen

Sent off on a four-week- long operation

On two legs, it was sorta living hell

Falling with the shells, war within yourself
Chorus 3
E
But you couldn't let your mates down
D
'til they had you dusted off
and thought of something else
E
Someone yelled "Contact!"
another bloke swore
F#m
E
Then Frankie kicked a mine
D
A
the day that mankind kicked the moon
E
D
God help me, he was going home in June

Thirty- six hour leave in the bar at the Grand

Of bleeding flesh, couldn't retrieve his legs

neglected to mention

Mud the fear, the blood, the tears, the tension

Dad's recollection beyond comprehension
D

Didn't seem quite real until we were sent in

Chaos and confusion, the fire and steel

Hot shrapnel in my back I didn't even feel

God help me, I was only nineteen
