Did you even listen to the song more than once?
This is a joke.... This song is an Australian icon... It is the song describing the Diggers sacrifice in Vietnam... do us the honour of posting all the lyrics and you don't post until you have some respect for the Australian soldier. It would also help if you can play along with the original and have it sound IN-TUNE! You are an idiot !!!!
Marvin a bit of a cranky pants here. This sounds OK for some reason. Played as bar chords it sounds OK. Obviously a different key to the other version on here (which is much better it must be said) but I reckon it is OK (not great but OK).
