New Model Army – You Weren‘t There (Guitar)

          C                        G
Well, you say, you say it's such a small, small world

       Am                       Em
Flying Club Class back from the far-east

          C                    G
Curled up safe and warm in the big chair

         Am                          Em
You were flying through the skies of anywhere

        C                   G
Get the courtesy car to the Sheraton

        Am                 Em               C
There's live on-the-spot reports on the CNN between the ad-breaks

G                Am                             Em
So you think you know what's going on - but you don't

            C                          G
Because you weren't in Belfast, no you weren't there

           Am                      Em
And no you weren't in Waco, no you weren't there

        C                      G
And you weren't in Kosovo, you weren't there

        F                         G
And you weren't in my head so you don't know how it felt

Am             Em                     C
Walking arm in arm with crowds to the square

        G                      F   G  Am       Em
And the banners waving and the sun -  glinting

         C                 G
All this information swims round and round

       Am                 Em
Like a shoal of fish in a tank going nowhere

C                       G
Up and down between the glass walls

          Am                              Em
You're so safe in the knowledge they're impenetrable

        C                             G
And you look out at the world and see nothing at all

      Am                          Em             C
So go back to sleep and you'll be woken when the time comes

           G                    F                   G
And you'll never know just what hit you or where it came from

            Am                          G
Because you weren't in Bradford, no you weren't there

        F                          G
And you weren't on the hill, no you weren't there

        Am                     G
And you weren't with us so you never saw

          F                            G                          Am
Just what happened when the television crews came knocking on the door

               Em
How the people told them all to go to Hell

C                       G
Smashed the cameras and sent them away

           F                    G
There were sirens going off and policemen coming in

    Am                          Em
And all that you love was being swept away

       C                    G                F
In the rush of a black tide all done in your name

           G                    Am             G
And you'll never know just what happened there

          F     G             Am        Em
Or how it feels - just how it feels . . .
