Black Boys On Mopeds Tab par Sinead O'Connor

[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
               G
Oooooooooooooooo
