[Intro]
 
B F# E B F# E
 
 
[Verse]
 
B            F#      E
Margaret Thatcher on TV
               B         F#           E
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.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
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
if they hated me they will hate you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                       B        F#
Well England's not the mythical land
   E
of Madame George and roses,
         B         F#
it's the home of police who kill
E
black boys on mopeds
    B         F#
and I love my boy,
    E
and that's why I'm leaving,
        B               F#
I don't want him to be aware
             E
that there's any such thing as grieving
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
B            F#            E
Young mother down at Smith field,
      B           F#           E
5 AM, looking for food for her kids,
       B              F#           E
in her arms she holds three cold babies,
        B               F#                 E
and the first word that they learned were "please".
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
B         F#        E
These are dangerous days,
                B          F#            E
to say what you feel is to make your own grave
B    F#         E
Remember what I told you
       B           F#               E
if you were of the world they would love you.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                  B        F#
England's not the mythical land
   E
of Madame George and roses,
         B         F#
it's the home of police who kill
E
black boys on mopeds
    B         F#
and I love my boy,
    E
and that's why I'm leaving,
        B               F#
I don't want him to be aware
             E
that there's any such thing as grieving so
