[Verse 1]
Em C D Fifteen man taken captive in a hostile foreign land Em C D Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand Em C A mideast country being ruled D By a man who thinks it's fun Em C To hold our people in return D Am For a shah that's on the run
[Pre-Chorus]
C B Am I think it's funny C B Freedom takes money
[Chorus]
Em C D It's a heartache and it's hard luck Em Well that's tough shit C D Man it's no fun Em Storm the Iranian embassy C D Before they start shootin' down you and me
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Em C Scourge of suits in control D Of the diplomaticness Em C While the nations of the world D Look on and they care less Em C The Soviet Union won't agree D To an economic plan Em C D And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan

[Verse 3]
Em C A nation worries and reads the papers D Hoping that no-one has died Em C Hearin' rumours that the hostages D Will soon be tried as spies Em C Demonstrations on the street D Saying that the end is near Em C The man from New York Times on vacation D Am Wants to know what happened here
[Bridge]
C B Am Agressive acts now C B Am We want the best now C B Am Fifteen moms crying C B Is my son dying?
[Chorus]
Em C D It's a heartache and it's hard luck Em Well that's tough shit C D Man it's no fun Em Storm the Iranian embassy C D Before they start shootin' at you and me
