E5 A5 C5 G5
He was alone of his people
E5 A5 C5 G5
In a Melbourne hotel on a Friday night
E5 A5 C5 G5
He was alone of his people
E5 A5 C5 G5
But he just sat on his own he was feeling alright
E5 A5 C5 G5
From the west coast of Africa
E5 A5 C5 G5
Seeking knowledge he'd come
E5 A5 C5 G5
He was a student of medicine
E5 A5 C5 G5
He stuck out like a sore thumb
B5 C5
He was alone of his people, alone of his race
B5 C5 E5 A5 C5
Alone of his people, alone in a strange strange place
G5 E5 A5 C5 G5
Strange strange place
E5 A5 C5 G5
Then they burst in like thunder
E5 A5 C5 G5
They were chanting their lines
E5 A5 C5 G5
They wore haircuts from Britain
E5 A5 C5 G5
They wore boots just like mine
E5 A5 C5 G5
And their blood it was up
E5 A5 C5 G5
As the beers they went down
E5 A5 C5 G5
It was six against one
E5 A5 C5 G5
It was a night on the town
B5 C5
He was alone of his people, alone of his race
B5 C5
Alone of his people, alone in a strange place
B5 C5 B5
Alone to the blows, alone to the ravages
C5 E5 A5 C5 G5
He was alone among savages
E5 A5 C5 G5
Now next day in the newspaper
E5 A5 C5 G5
This young man he replied
E5 A5 C5 G5
Said he could not believe
E5 A5 C5 G5
All their hatred inside
E5 A5 C5 G5
Though the wounds would soon heal
E5 A5 C5 G5
Well it was no disgrace
E5 A5 C5 G5
And he would not soon forget
E5 A5 C5 G5
The looks on their face
E5 A5 C5 G5
And I will not soon forget
E5 A5 C5 G5
All my feelings of shame
E5 A5 C5 G5
So will you tell me Ron Casey
E5 A5 C5 G5
Tell me who is to blame?
E5 A5 C5 G5
And will you tell me Bruce Ruxton
E5 A5 C5 G5
Is this the country You fought for?
E5 A5 C5 G5
Was it six against one
E5 A5 C5 G5
The way you won that old war?
