Intro:EmEmD#dimEmC#dim
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
EmD#dimC#dimD#dim
Keeping myself to myself
EmD#dimEmC#dim
My heart's going out to the girl with the gun
EmD#dimC#dimD#dim
She is young, she is fun, she is dea-----dly
(note: the next G#dim goes from 14fret in the same position as the D#dim)
G#dimF#dimEdimF#dimEdimD#dimEdimC#dim
She clocks off, goes back to the ci-----ty
G#dimF#dimEdimF#dimEdimD#dimEm
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:Am, G#dim, Em, CdimAm, G#dim, F#dim, G#dimAmG#dimAmF#dim
We stand there accused of the British collusion

A victory for some an astonishing hope
AmG#dimF#dimG#dim
But for him it has brought devasta-----tion

He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in hell
DCA#
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
A#mFmC
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
GmDm
Can they see the hawk?
FCm
They're too busy in talk of love
D#C#A#
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
EmD#dimEm
We eat our falafel in peace
EmD#dimEm
The girl lets her uniform slip
EmD#dimEm
The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet

He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za

She listens to Coldplay in Lod
