Cambodia — Kim Wilde
Chords and lyrics for Cambodia by Kim Wilde (key of Dm).
Verse 1
Well he [Dm]was in Thailand based. She was an airforce wife.
He used [F]to fly weekends, it was the easy life.
But then[C] it turned around, and he began to change.
She [Gm]didn't wonder then, she didn't [C]think it strange.
But then[Dm] he got a call, he had to leave that night.
He [F]couldn't say too much, but it would be alright.
He [C]didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night.
He had a[Gm] job to do, [C]flying to [Dm]Cambodia. [F] [Gm] [C] [Dm]
And as [Dm]the nights passed by, she tried to trace the past.
The way [F]he used to look, the way he used to laugh.
I guess [C]she'll never know, what got inside his soul.
She [Gm]couldn't make it out, [C]just couldn't take it all.
He had [Dm]the saddest eyes the girl had ever seen.
He used [F]to cry some nights, as though he lived a dream.
And as [C]she held him close, he used to search her face.
As [Gm]though she knew the truth, [C]lost inside [Dm]Cambodia. [F] [Gm] [C]
[Dm]
But then[Dm] a call came through, they said he'd soon be home.
She had [F]to pack a [Bb]case and they would [Gm]make a rendez-vous.
But now [Dm]the year has passed and not a single word and
all the [F]love she [Bb]knew has [Gm]disappeared out in the haze.
Cambodia[Dm] - Don't[Bb] cry now - [Gm]No tears now.
[Dm] [F] [Bb] [Dm] [Gm]
And now [Dm]the years have passed without a single word.
But there is [F]only one thing [Bb]left I know for sure,
She [C]won't see his face [Dm]again.
