	        Em                 Am C G  
He was alone of his people  
     Em                   Am C   G  
In a Melbourne hotel on a Friday night  
        Em                 Am C G  
He was alone of his people  
            Em                    Am      C G  
But he just sat on his own he was feeling alright  
         Em                   Am C G  
From the west coast of Africa  
        Em                  Am C G  
Seeking knowledge he'd come  
         Em                  Am C G  
He was a student of medicine  
         Em                    Am C G  
He stuck out like a sore thumb  
 
       B7                    C 
He was alone of his people, alone of his race  
 B7                   C                         Em    Am C 
Alone of his people, alone in a strange strange place  
G               Em    Am C G  
Strange strange place 
 
          Em                    Am C G  
Then they burst in like thunder  
          Em                   Am C G  
They were chanting their lines  
          Em                    Am C G  
They wore haircuts from Britain  
          Em                   Am C G  
They wore boots just like mine  
          Em              Am C G  
And their blood it was up  
       Em                   Am C G  
As the beers they went down  
       Em              Am C G  
It was six against one  
         Em                Am C G  
It was a night on the town  
 
       B7                    C 
He was alone of his people, alone of his race  
 B7                   C                  
Alone of his people, alone in a strange place  
 B7                  C               B7 
Alone to the blows, alone to the ravages 
        C              Em  Am C G 
He was alone among savages 
 
         Em                   Am C G  
Now next day in the newspaper  
           Em             Am C G  
This young man he replied  
        Em                Am C G  
Said he could not believe  
          Em            Am C G  
All their hatred inside  
           Em                     Am C G  
Though the wounds would soon heal  
        Em              Am C G  
Well it was no disgrace  
             Em              Am C G  
And he would not soon forget  
    Em                  Am C G  
The looks on their face  
           Em              Am C G  
And I will not soon forget  
       Em                Am C G  
All my feelings of shame  
            Em                Am C G  
So will you tell me Ron Casey  
        Em               Am C G  
Tell me who is to blame?  
             Em                   Am C G  
And will you tell me Bruce Ruxton  
            Em                      Am C G  
Is this the country You fought for?  
       Em              Am C G  
Was it six against one  
        Em                    Am C G  
The way you won that old war?
