G5                        D5                                       
I remember respectfully like others before me
    A5                                                                
All those folk who fell in the war
    G5                        D5                                        
And I hear you singing songs of lamentation
      A5                          D5                                    
But I don?t wish to hear them no more
A5                                               G5                     A5
What did you do in the time of the war? It?s a question asked by everyone
   G5                       D5                    A5                     D5 
I stood in a line my screwdriver in hand making aircraft out at Laverton
                                                                    
            G5                        D5
   So don?t sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda
         A5         G5            A5         G5                                
   Don?t tell me I tried, don?t tell me I failed
       G5                   D5                                             
   For all I recall is the scorn of the women
         A5                                    D5                          
   And a white feather that I received in the mail
                                                                    
    G5                     D5                                       
I remember the day I went down to enlist
         A5                                                          
And they said ?Read this chart on the wall?
     G5                     D5                                         
I remember the tone of the voice of the doctor
      A5                                                       D5       
As he said to me: ?That will be all. Thank you very much?
 A5                                      G5                      A5       
Riding home slowly I sat on my tram not sure if to laugh or to cry
       G5                           D5                                  
For to train in the camps, sure, a man needs his lamps
      A5                              D5                                
And a good soldier he must have good eyes
                                                                    
Chorus
                                                                    
        G5                          D5                               
Well it takes more than bullets to murder and maim
        A5                                                            
Whether worn down or beaten a death?s still a death
        G5                           D5                                 
And you know sometimes when I think back to the forties
  A5                     D5                                            
I pray for my very last breath
    A5                                                                
You know I have nothing against those who fought
        G5                           A5                                 
But for Christ?s sake we do what we can
            G5                          D5                              
And there?s more than one way that you can skin a cat
            A5                                   D5                     
And there?s more than one way you can cripple a man
                                                                    
Chorus
