[Intro] D G D D A D [Verse 1]
D
There was Robbie Jones
He used to walk so tall
             G          D
You know he'd hurt no one at all

D
Chased the girls around the world

A                           D
Danced them round the dance halls

D
We'd have a drink and then he'd sink

    G          D
Into nostalgic talk

D
We carried him home in the fallen snow

     A                   D
When he was too drunk to walk
[Chorus]
          G         D
Then there came the day

       G      D
We were sent away

          G
We got our papers

D                 A
Posted trough the door

                D
And sent off to war
[Verse 2]
D
Well dear old Tom

                          G         D
He'd sing a song and he'd play the guitar
He'd tell you all the stories
        A               D
Of his travels near and far

D
Signed up one day to learn a trade

          G               D
But that dream didn't go far
He'd be fighting Argentinians
          A           D
With his gun not his guitar
[Chorus]
                 G         D 
Well then there came the day

       G      D
We were sent away

          G
We got our papers

D                 A
Posted trough the door

                D
And sent off to war

        G         D
And i remember that day

         G      D
We were sent away

          G
We got our papers

D                 A

                D
And sent off to war
G D G D G D A [Chorus]
      G         D
And i remember that day

         G      D
We were sent away
