[Intro]
C F C
[Verse 1]
C F C
A bush road near the border, a convoy creeps along
Dm G
Loaded up with men and boys all fit and keen and strong.
C Dm
The second truck is doomed that day to have belly blown away
G C
And the power in the young man's legs is gone.
[Chorus]
F C
But that's just a memory now,
F G C
Fading down the sandy trails of time.
F C
But time's such a healer somehow;
F C G
He keeps it to himself but it's always in his mind.
C F C
He's a wheelchair warrior, coming down the line
G F C
Doing mighty fine, coming down the line
F C
He's a wheelchair Warrior who'll never lose his pride,
F C G C
He'll take the hand of friendship but pity's pushed aside.
[Verse 2]
C F C
Signal to the ops room, the fire-force must go.
Dm G
The gunships wing their way to zero in upon the foe.
C
Fifteen Troopies take them on,
Dm
Although the they're almost fifty strong.
G C
The battle's won but a young man was laid low.
[Chorus]
F C
But that's just a memory now,
F G C
Fading down the sandy trails of time.
F C
But time's such a healer somehow;
F C G
He keeps it to himself but it's always in his mind.

He'll take the hand of friendship but pity's pushed aside.
[Verse 3]
C F C
Rehabilitation, therapy and pain,
Dm G
Artificial limbs, practice time and time again.
C Dm
Pomp and splendour, pageantry, medals for his bravery
G C
Didn't pay the price for what he gave.
[Chorus]
F C
But that's just a memory now,
F G C
Fading down the sandy trails of time.

But time's such a healer somehow;
F C G
He keeps it to himself but it's always in his mind.

He'll take the hand of friendship but pity's pushed aside.
F C G
(Slower) He'll take the hand of friendship but Pity's aside
