Margaret That-cher on T-V....      Shocked by the
D                        A                G       G
deaths that took place in Bei-jing          It seems
D                        A                 G         G
strange that she should be of-fended...    The same
D               A           G    G
orders are given by her...
D           A               G         G
I've said this before now...   You said I was
D                 A               G        G
childish and you'll say it now...

"Remem-ber what I told you
D                  A                 G          G
If they hated me they will hate you"

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving

Young mother down at Smithfield
5 am, looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
And the first word that they learned was "please"

These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
"Remember what I told you
If you were of the world they would love you"

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving.

As down the glen one Easter morn
        C    Am  (lr)  Am    repeat (Am (lr) Am)
To a city fair rode I,
         Am      Am        G            G
There armed lines of marching men
    C              Am       (lr)  Am   repeat (Am (lr) Am)
In squadrons passed me by.

No phife did hum, nor battle drum

Did sound its loud tattoo
            Am        Am               G            G
But the Angelus' bells o'er the Liffey swells
         C              Am (lr)  Am   repeat (Am (lr) Am)
Rang out in the fog -gy dew.

Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war.
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Suvla or Sud el Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through;
While Brittania's Huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.

The bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Easter-tide
In the springing of the year.
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.

And back through the glen I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valiant men
Whom I never shall see more
But to and fro
In my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you
For slavery fled
Oh, glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew

......Did you ever go
Em
clear?

Am                               Am
Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
     Am                                        Em
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
Am                           Am
You'd been to the station to meet every train
Am                                        Em
And you came home without Lili Marlene


              Am            G                Am                 G
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
        Am                   G    Am                     G
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.


       C                                                         G                   
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
                                   Am
One more thin gypsy thief
                           G
Well I see Jane's awake
Am             Em
She sends her regards.

Am                         Am
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
Am                  Em
What can I possibly say?
Am                         Am
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
Am                           Em
I'm glad you stood in my way.

        Am              G                Am          G
If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Am                   G                       Am           G
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

              C                                        G
Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
                         Am                                  G
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

    C                                                      G
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
                                          Am
She said that you gave it to her
                                                     G      
That night that you planned to go clear
Am                 Em
.....Sincerely, A friend
