shocked by the destitute place in Beijing,

         B                F#          E
it seems strange that she should be offended,

         B           F#       E
the same martyrs are given by her.

B         F#          E
I've said this before now,

               B            F#            E
you said I was childish and you'll say it now

B    F#         E
Remember what I told you,

   B          F#           E

and I love my boy,

    E
and that's why I'm leaving,

        B               F#

Young mother down at Smith field,

in her arms she holds three cold babies,

        B               F#                 E
and the first word that they learned were "please".

These are dangerous days,
