Scorn of the Women � Weddings, Parties, Anything

G D
I remember respectfully like others before me
A
All those folk who fell in the war
G D
And I hear you singing songs of lamentation
A D
But I don�t wish to hear them no more

A G A
What did you do in the time of the war? It�s a question asked by everyone
G D A D
I stood in a line my screwdriver in hand making aircraft out at Laverton

G D
So don�t sing no songs about Waltzing Matilda
A G A G
Don�t tell me I tried, don�t tell me I failed
G D
For all I recall is the scorn of the women
A D
And a white feather that I received in the mail

G D
I remember the day I went down to enlist
A
And they said �Read this chart on the wall�
G D
I remember the tone of the voice of the doctor
A D
As he said to me: �That will be all. Thank you very much�
A G A
Riding home slowly I sat on my tram not sure if to laugh or to cry
G D
For to train in the camps, sure, a man needs his lamps
A D
And a good soldier he must have good eyes

Chorus

G D
Well it takes more than bullets to murder and maim
A
Whether worn down or beaten a death�s still a death
G D
And you know sometimes when I think back to the forties
A D
I pray for my very last breath
A
You know I have nothing against those who fought
G A
But for Christ�s sake we do what we can
G D
And there�s more than one way that you can skin a cat
A D
And there�s more than one way you can cripple a man

Chorus
