Intro D A D D When the bodies were bagged and the telegrams sent G D And the very last chopper had gone D G D Bm A And you looked out the window of the 707 on the airfield in Saigon, D Bm Some of us thought that the war was over G D Some of us couldn?t care less; G D G A But you came home and threw a stay-behind party to try to clear up the mess. G D A D I don?t know where you are tonight..I?m down here in a firefight? F#m G A D But where-ever you are, I hope you?re safe behind the wire. D Bm G D We were fighting for freedom in South-East Asia?. That?s how the story ran; G D Bm A Windy speeches about a domino falling from China into Vietnam? D Bm G D But look back in sickness and anger, Australia didn?t honour her debt; G D G A And non-commission Officer Thompson learned that the war wasn?t over yet. G D A D Living on your nerves, living on the phone and sleeping in airports far from home?. F#m G A D Dusted off now and safe behind the wire. Instrumental: A G D A G D Bm G D Well he have and he gave and he kept on giving, till he just couldn?t give anymore; G D Bm A And he gave it away one morning in Sydney in a rust-red Commodore? D Bm G D And I remember Phill best talking on the phone, with a cheeky grin on his face?. G D Because Royal Commissioners and Knights of the Realm G A Thought that Phill didn?t know his place. G D A D I don?t know where you are tonight..I?m down here in a firefight? F#m G A D But where-ever you are, I hope you?re safe behind the wire. A G D And the?re still bagging bodies, Phill, though fourteen years have gone; A G A And the mums and the dads and the wives and the kids still have to soldier on. G D A D I don?t know where you are tonight..I?m down here in a firefight? F#m G A D But where-ever you are, I hope you?re safe behind the wire. G D A D I don?t know where you are tonight..I?m down here in a firefight? F#m G A D G A D But where-ever you are, I hope you?re safe behind the wire.
