I fought in a war
(Transcribed by Michael Shaye )
1st Verse:
Em A
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
C B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Em A
Before I would stand with another boy in front of me
C B
And a corpse that just fell into me, with the bullets flying round...
1st chorus:
G Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady boy to wear
G Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
C B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
2nd verse:
Em A
I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me
C B
To go looking for the enemy, and it wasnt very long
Em A
Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me
C B
Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before
2nd chorus:
G Am
And I reminded myself of the words you said when we were getting on
C B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
G Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
C B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while
3rd Verse:
Em A
I fought in a war, and I didnt know where it would end
C B
It stretched before me infinitely, I couldnt really think
Em A
Of the day beyond now, keep your head down pal
C
Theres trouble plenty in this hour, this day
B
I can see hope I can see light
3rd Chorus
G Am
And I reminded myself of the looks you gave when we were getting on
C B
And I bet youre making shells back home for a steady man to wear
G Am
Round his neck, well it wont hurt to think of you as if youre waiting for
C B
This letter to arrive because Ill be here quite a while

The model
(Transcribed by Pauline Mallee )
D (x4)
D
I will confess to you
A G
Because you made me think about the times
D Bm
You turn the picture on to me and I'll turn over
E A
The vision was a masterpiece of comic timing
G D
But you wouldn't laugh at all
Dsus4 Dsus4/C# Bm
And I wonder what the boy was thinking
E A
The picture was an old collage of something classical
G D
The model with a tragic air
Dsus4/E D/F# G
Because without a doubt he'd given up the fight
A D D D D
The ghost of somebody at his side
D
I will confess to you
A G
Because I didn't think about the message
D Bm
As I walked down the alleyway it was a Sunday
E A
And all my friends deserted me because you painted me
G D
As the fraud I really was
Dsus4 Dsus4/C# Bm
And if you think you see with just your eyes you're mad
E A
'Cause Lisa learned a lot from putting on a blindfold
G D
When she knew she had been bad
Dsus4/E D/F# G
She met another blind kid at a fancy dress
A D D D D
It was the best sex she ever had
D
I'll send a dress to you
A G
Because it's needing badly taken in
D Bm
But I was so embarressed when I missed your party
E A
It was me that paid for it eventually
G D
Because you know how much I wanted
Dsus4 Dsus4/C# Bm
To meet your friend the star of stage and local press
E A
The dream of all the bowlie boys that hang around here
G D
And I'm no different from the rest
Dsus4/E D/F# G
I'm not too proud to say that I'm okay with
A D D D D
The girl next door who's famous for showing her breasts
D
You're not impressed by me
A G
But it's a funny way for you to tell me
D Bm
A whisper in a choir stall
E A
The man was talking about you simultaneously
G D
Frankly, I let my heavy eyelids flutter
Dsus4 Dsus4/C# Bm
Because I have been sleeping badly lately
E A
I know you were historical from all the books I've read
G D
But I thought you could be bluffing
Dsus4/E D/F# G
And with this chance I've missed I feel remiss
A D D D D
It's days and months before I see you again
G D

Waiting for the moon to rise
(Transcribed by Pauline Mallee )
F G Am E
F G Am Am
Am E
All the way back home
C E
I'm telling you I caught the sun
Am D
Creeping up behind my shoulder
Bm E
And another day's begun
Am E
I was following a trail
C E
I'd never been along before
Am D Bm
Chasing darkened skies above me
E C
Looking like the spring
Am
Like the winter
F Dm
And the morning
G E Am Am
F E
If there's a place I want to go
C Am
Then I'll be there with you
F
'Cos in my dreams the things
G
I'm wishing for
F E F E
Keep coming true
Am E
Now a new day comes
C E
Clears the darkness out of sight
Am D
And the shadows that were sleeping
Bm E
Come and dance beneath the light
Am E
And I'm trying hard to hide
C E
Keeping the sun out of my eyes
Am
Close them tight
D Bm E
And now I'm waiting for the moon to rise
Am Am
F E C Am
F G F E
F E
Am E
Don't try to say to me
C E
That this was never meant to be
Am D
'Cos the days are long where I come from
Bm E
The next few days I'm free
Am E
There's a train I want to catch
C E
But it won't leave here for a while
Am D
Till darkness fills the eastern sky
Bm E
And streetlights stretch for miles
C
Through the spring
Am F Dm
And the winter and the morning
C Am F Dm (x3)

Family tree
(Transcribed by Michael Cronshaw )
A
I've been feeling down
E
I've been looking round the town
G
For somebody just like me
D
But the only ones I see
A
Are the dummies in the window
E
They spend their money on clothes
G
It saddens me to think
Bm E F#
That the only ones I see are mannequins
Bm E F#
Looking stupid, being used and being thin
Bm E A
And I don't know why I hang around with them
Em G D A
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
Em G D
The way they act, I'd rather be fat than be confused
A
Than be me in a cage
F#m
With a bottle of rage
E A Bm C#m D A Bm C#m D
And a family like the mafia
A
I've been feeling blue
E
And I don't know what to do
G
And I never get a thrill
D
And they threw me out of school
A
'Cause I swore at all the teachers
E
Because they never teach us
G
A thing I want to know
Bm E F#
We do Chemistry, Biology and Maths
Bm E F#
I want Poetry and Music and some laughs
Bm E A
And I don't think it's an awful lot to ask
Em G D A
So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go
Em G D
So won't you please get up off your knees, and let me go
A
Cause I'm here in a cage
F#m
With a bottle of rage
E A Bm C#m D A Bm C#m D
And a family like the mafia
A Bm C#m
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
D A
Then I will change my name to Jones
Bm C#m
If my family tree goes back to Napolean
D A
Then I will change my name to Smith
Bm C#m
If my family tree goes back to the Romans
D A
Then I will change my name to Jones
Bm C#m
If you're looking at me to be an accountant
D
Then you will look but you will never see
A Bm C#m
If you're looking at me to start having babies
D C# F# Bm A
Then you can wish because I'm not here to fool around
