Verse 1
I (E minor) left my heart to the (C major) sappers round
Khe (G major) Sanh (C major) (G major) (D major)
And the (E minor) soul was sold with my (C major) cigarettes
to the (D major) black (G major) market man (D major) (B major)
I've had the (E minor) Vietnam cold (C major) turkey
From the (G major) ocean to the (C major) Silver City
And (G major) it's (A minor) only other vets (F major)
could under (D major) stand (G major) (D major)

Verse 2
About the (E minor) long forgotten (D major) dockside (C major)
quaran (G major) tees (C major) (G major) (D major)
How there were (E minor) no V-day (C major) heroes
in (D major) nineteen (G major) seventhy-three (D major)
(B major) How we sailed (E minor) into Sydney Harbor (C major)
I saw an (G major) old friend but I couldn't (C major) kiss her
(G major) She was (A minor) lined,
and I was home (D major) to the lucky land (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 3
And she was (E minor) like so many more (C major)
from that time (G major) on (C major) (G major) (D major)
Their (E minor) lives were all so (C major) empty,
till they (D major) found their (G major) chosen one (D major) (B major)
And their (E minor) legs were often open (C major)
But their (G major) minds were always closed (C major)
And (G major) their (A minor) hearts were held in
(F major) fast suburban chains (D major)
Verse 4
And the (E minor) legal pads were (C major) yellow,
hours long, (G major) pay (C major) packet lean (G major) (D major)
And the (E minor) telex writers (C major) clattered
where the gunships (D major) (G major) once had been (D major) (B major)
(E minor) Car parks made me jumpy (C major)
And I (G major) never stopped the (C major) dreams
(G major) Or the (A minor) growing need for speed (D major)
and Novocaine (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 5
So I (E minor) worked across the country (C major) for
end to end (G major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) Tried to find (E minor) a place to (C major) settle down,
where my (D major) mixed up (G major) life could mend (D major)
I (B major) held a job (E minor) on an oil-rig (C major)
Flying (G major) choppers when I could (C major)
Oh (G major) but the (A minor) nightlife nearly
drove (F major) me round the bend (D major)
Verse 6
And I've (E minor) traveled round the world (C major)
from year to year (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
And (E minor) each one found me aimless, (C major)
one more year (D major) the more (G major) for wear (D major)
And (B major) I've been (E minor) back to South East Asia (C major)
But the (G major) answer sure ain't there (C major)
But (G major) I'm (A minor) drifting north,
to check (D major) things out again,
(G major) (C major) (G major) Yes I am (D major)

Chorus 1
Well the (E minor) the last plane out of Sydney's (C major)
almost gone (G major) (D major)
And only (E minor) seven flying hours, (C major)
and I'll be (D major) landing in (G major) Hong (D major) Kong (B major)
There ain't (E minor) nothing like the kisses (C major)
From a (G major) jaded Chinese princess (C major)
I'm (G major) gonna (A minor) hit some Hong Kong
drove (F major) mattress all night (D major) long (G major) (D major)
Chorus 2
Well the (E minor) the last plane out of Sydney's (C major)
almost gone (G major) (D major)
You know the (E minor) last plane out of Sydney's (C major)
almost (D major) gone (G major) (D major) (B major)
And it's (E minor) really got me worried (C major)
I'm goin' (G major) nowhere and I'm in a hurry (C major)
(G major) And the (A minor) last plane out of Sydney's (D major)
almost (G major) gone (C major) (G major) (D major)
Chorus 3
Well the (E minor) last plane out of Sydney's (C major)
almost gone (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)

almost (D major) gone (G major) (D major) (B major)
And it's (E minor) really got me worried (C major)
I'm goin' (G major) nowhere and I'm in a hurry (C major)
You (G major) know the (A minor) last plane out of Sydney's (D major)
almost (G major) gone (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
