intro: Em
Em D#dim Em C#dim I'm sitting around at the checkpoint Em D#dim C#dim D#dim Keeping myself to myself Em D#dim Em C#dim My heart's going out to the girl with the gun Em D#dim C#dim D#dim She is young, she is fun, she is dea-----dly
(note: the next G#dim goes from 14fret in the same position as the D#dim)
G#dim F#dim Edim F#dim Edim D#dim Edim C#dim She clocks off, goes back to the ci-----ty G#dim F#dim Edim F#dim Edim D#dim Em Goes to a club with her friends Bass: A|-7-------------------| E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|
(then next verse goes as first)
I just took a walk through the checkpoint
Past columns of poor Arab sons
They queue through the day for a chance to make pay
For something to put in their mouths
He can't sleep at night without gunfire
The lullaby puts him to sleep
Bass: A|-7-------------------| E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|
Solo: Am, G#dim, Em, Cdim
Am, G#dim, F#dim, G#dim
Am G#dim Am F#dim We stand there accused of the British collusion Am G#dim F#dim G#dim Israel into Pales---ti--------ne Am G#dim Em Cdim A victory for some an astonishing hope Am G#dim F#dim G#dim But for him it has brought devasta-----tion Cdim Bdim Adim Bdim Adim G#dim Adim F#dim He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in ex----ile Cdim Bdim Adim Bdim Adim G#dim Am He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in hell D C A# Loves black and white in the blue vault of space A#m Fm C Swoop around like a symbol of peace Gm Dm Can they see the hawk? F Cm They're too busy in talk of love D# C# A# Why should they contemplate fear?
(and so the next goes quite as the first verse)
Everyone meets in the cramped city streets
Hipsters of Zion collide
To talk music and dross
At the sign of The Cross
Em D#dim Em We eat our falafel in peace Em D#dim Em The girl lets her uniform slip Em D#dim Em The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet Em D#dim C#dim D#dim He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za Em D#dim Em She listens to Coldplay in Lod Chords: can be variation from D#dim or from G#dim D#dim e--------| B---7----| G---5----| D---7----| A---6----| E--------| G#dim e--------| B---3----| G---4----| D---3----| A--------| E---4----|
the part "he lives like a prisioner..." i think is easier if you do the "dim"
chords varianting from the G#dim e go lowering the tones
