(from "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got")
Listen to record for strum pattern. Sinéad just casually strums with her thumb.
The whole song is basically G D C C
[Verse 1]
G D C Margaret Thatcher on TV G D C Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing G D C Seems strange that she should be offended G D C The same orders are given by her G D C I've said this before now G D C You said I was childish and you'll say it now G D C Remember what I told you G D C If they hated me, they will hate you
[Chorus]
G D C England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses G D C It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds G D C And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving G D C I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
[Verse 2]
G D C Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m. G D C Looking for food for her kids G D C In her arms she holds three cold babies G D C And the first word that they learned was "Please" G D C These are dangerous days G D C To say what you feel is to dig your own grave G D C Remember what I told you G D C If you were of the world they would love you
[Chorus]
G D C England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses G D C It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds G D C And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving G D C I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
"Ooooh" to fade over verse chords, end on G
