    F
He raped me in the chalet lines
    A7                      Dm
The girl I shared with was away for the night
            A#             F
I couldn't get up for my shift today
              A#                F7
I'll have to leave the camp now anyway
           A#               Dm       C      A#
I'll go to London there's a mate of mine I know
                  F7
she'll give me a place
                 A#        F7
Full of woe and further to go

    F
He raped me in the chalet lines
   A7                       Dm
I had just said no for the final time
               A#                  F7
Although it's last month it's like yesterday
             A#                 C
I missed my time, I don't think I could stand
             A#                Dm
To take the test, I'm feeling sick
       C         Gm                  Am
Fuck this, I've felt like this for a week
            A#                  Dm
I'd put a knife right into his eyes
     C          A#
My friend can't see
             F7
She asks me why I don't
           A#
Tell the law
               Dm      C       A#
Oh what's the fucking point at all

He raped me in the chalet lines
It was a party, it was going fine
With the boys from the amusement park
A few were idiots, they were a really good laugh
They had the shows on till way after dark
I hope she’ll give me a place full of woe
and further to go
(She caught the bus)
“Oh, I’ll go anywhere”
(She caught the bus)
Her face was just a smear on the pane
