Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
Keeping myself to myself
(note: the next G#dim goes from 14fret in the same position as the D#dim)
Goes to a club with her friends
(then next verse goes as first)
I just took a walk through the checkpoint
Past columns of poor Arab sons
They queue through the day for a chance to make pay
For something to put in their mouths
He can't sleep at night without gunfire
The lullaby puts him to sleep
Solo
We stand there accused of the British collusion
Israel into Pales---ti--------ne
He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in ex----ile
He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in hell
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
Can they see the hawk?
They're too busy in talk of love
Why should they contemplate fear?
(and so the next goes quite as the first verse)
Everyone meets in the cramped city streets
Hipsters of Zion collide
To talk music and dross
At the sign of The Cross
We eat our falafel in peace
The girl lets her uniform slip
She listens to Coldplay in Lod
Chords:
the part "he lives like a prisioner..." i think is easier if you do the "dim"
chords varianting from the G#dim e go lowering the tones
