Redgum: I Was Only Nineteen (1983) Intro: Am C G D Am G AmAmMum and Dad and CDenny saw the Gpassing-out Dparade at PuckaAmpunyal It was a long Gmarch from cadAmets. AmThe sixth battalion was the Cnext to tour, and it was Gme who drew the Dcard. We did AmCanungra, ShoalGwater before we Amleft.And ETownsville lined the footpaths as we Dmarched down to the Aquay This Eclipping from the paper shows us Dyoung and strong and Aclean. And F#mthere's me in my Eslouch hat with my DSLR and Agreens. God Ehelp me, I was only nineDteen.From AmVung Tau, riding CChinooks, to the Gdust at Nui DDat I'd been Amin and out of Gchoppers now for Ammonths. But we Ammade our tents a Chome, VB and Gpinups on the Dlockers And an AmAsian orange Gsunset through the Amscrub.And Ecan you tell me, doctor, why I Dstill can't get to Asleep? And Enight-time's just a jungle dark and a Dbarking M1A6? And F#mwhat's this rash that Ecomes and goes, can you Dtell me what it Ameans? God Ehelp me, I was only nineDteen.A Amfour week operCation when each Gstep could mean your Dlast one on two Amlegs It was a Gwar within yourAmself. But you Amwouldn't let your Cmates down til they Ghad you dusted Amoff So you Amclosed your eyes and Gthought about something Amelse.Then Esomeone yelled out "Contact!"D; and the bloke Abehind me swore We Ehooked in there for hours, then a DGodalmighty Aroar F#mFrankie kicked a Emine the day that Dmankind kicked the Amoon, God Ehelp me, he was going home in DJune.Solo: Am C G D Am G AmAmI can still see CFrankie, drinking Gtinnies in the GGrand Hotel On a Amthirty-six hour Grec leave in Vung AmTau And AmI can still hear CFrankie, lying Gscreaming in the Djungle Til the Ammorphine came and Gkilled the bloody Amrow.And the EAnzac legends didn't mention Dmud and blood and Atears And the Estories that my father told me Dnever seemed quite Areal. I F#mcaught some pieces Ein my back that DI didn't even Afeel God Ehelp me, I was only nineDteen.And Ecan you tell me, doctor, why DI still can't get to Asleep? And Ewhy the Channel Seven chopper Dchills me to my Afeet? And F#mwhat's this rash that Ecomes and goes, can you Dtell me what it Ameans? God Ehelp me, I was only nineDteen.Outro: Am C G D Am G Am
