4/4

1)A Mum and DaCd and Denny saGw the passing out Dparade at PuckapAunyal

IT was a long march Gfrom cadets A

The sixth battalion was the Cnext to tour

and it was Gme who drew the card D

We did CanAungra and shoal Gwater before we left A

Chorus 1

And ETownsville lined the footpaths as we marched Dto the quay A

This Eclipping from the paper shows us yDoung and strong and clean A

And F♯mtheres me in my slouch Ehat with my DSLR and greens A

God help Eme I was on - F♯mly Enine Dteen

2) From Vung Tau riding chinooks to the dust at Nui Dat

Id been in and out of choppers no for months

But we made our tents a home, VB, and pinups on the lockers

And an Asian orange sunset though the scrub

Chorus 2

And can you tell me doctor why I still cant get to sleep

And why night times just a jungle dark and a barking M16

And whats this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means

God help me, i was only nineteen

3) A four week operation every step could be your last one

on two legs ; It was a war within yourself

But you wouldnt let your mates down till they had you dusted off

so you closed your eyes and thought about something else

Chorus 3

The someone yelled out "contact" and a bloke behind me swore

We hooked in there for hours then a god almighty roar

Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon

God help me, he was going home in June

4)I can still see Frankie lying drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel

On a thirty six hour rec leave in Vung Tau

And i can still see Frankie lying screaming in the jungle

till the morphine cam and killed the bloody row

Chorus 4

And the Anzac legends didnt mention mud and blood and tears

And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real

I caught some pieces in my back that I didnt even feel

God help me I was only nineteen

Chorus 5

played after chorus 4 the same as chorus 2)

And can you tell me doctor why I still cant get to sleep

And why the channel seven chopper chills me to my feet

And whats this rash that comes and goes can you tell me what it means

God help me, I was only nineteen.. D D D A C G D A G A
