I hope you can understand what I have typed here. I put only words
to last chorus 'cause chords are not needed there. Listening the song
once makes a lot of easier to understand this.

Forgotten Years - Midnight Oil
Intro:
Riff A:
Riff 1:
Riff 2:
Verse:
Few of the sins of the father Are visited upon the son
Hearts have been hard Hands have been clenched into fists too long
Our sons need never be soldiers Our daugters will never need guns
These are the years between These are the years that were hard fought an won
PLAY RIFF 1
Conttracts torn at the edges Old signatures stained with tears
Seasons of war and grace The should not be forgotten years Still it
PLAY RIFF 1
aches like tatanus It reeks of politics
How many dreams remain This is a feeling too strong to contain
Chorus:
PLAY RIFF 2
The hardest years the darkest years the roarin' years teh fallen years
These should not be forgotten years
The hardest years the wildest years the desperate and divided years
We will remember
These should not be forgotten years
PLAY RIFF A
Verse:
Our shore line was never invated Our country was never in flames
This is the calm we breathe This is the feeling strong to contain Still it
PLAY RIFF 1
Aches like tetanus It reeks like politics
Signatures stained with tears
Who can remember We've got to remeber
Chorus:
The hardest years, the darkest years...
Forsaking aching breaking years.
The Time and tested heartbreak years.
These should not be forgotten years.
The blinded years, the binded years.
The desperate and divided years.
These should not be forgotten years
Remember
