We'd like to help you, the consul said, but there's nothing we can do

         Em                                          G                D
Well you knew the risks when you took the job, after all you're not a fool

    Em                              G                   D
So, don't call me, don't call me, I just can't bend the rules

     Em                               G                  D
Keep your chin up, I know it's tough, somehow you'll get through

C            G         D           Em
It seems the Americans bargain and rescue

       C                     G           D               Bm
But if you get caught you're left to rot under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

Under a Beirut Moon, sorry son there's nothing we can do

Em                   D                   Bm                Em
Under a Beirut Moon, different rules, we haven't got a clue
Verse 2:
Em                                        G              D
We can't be seen to be giving in to these terrorists you see

      Em                                    G                D
If we talk with them it would be the end of all that we hold dear

   Em                                G           D
So don't call me, don't call me, I'm doing all I can

Em                                     G              D
Although it seems, from where you sit, I don't give a damn

C                 G               D          Em
Back home they'll remember you in papers, on TV

        C                         G            D               Bm
Because when you're caught you're left to rot, under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

Now just today on the news I saw a hostage walking free

Em                                 G               D
He talked of how it came about, he gained his liberty

         Em                            G              D
He said, don't give up, don't give up, argue, beg and plead

         Em                              G                  D
Keep the pressure up, don't let it drop, somehow you'll get free

C           G         D           Em
He said the Americans bargain and rescue

         C                       G            D               Bm
But when Brits get caught you're left to rot, under a Beirut, under the Beirut Moon
