intro: Em

    Em       Eb?         Em   C#?
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
Em        Eb?    C#?  Eb?
Keeping myself to myself
   Em            Eb?      Em            C#?
My heart's going out to the girl with the gun
       Em            Eb?        C#?  Eb?
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 )

    Ab?  F#?  E?  F#?  E? Eb?  E?   C#?
She clocks off,   goes  back    to  the     ci-----ty
Ab? F#?  E?    F#?   E?  Eb?   Em
Goes   to     a      club    with   her   friends

Bass:
A | -7------------------- | 
E | ---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7- | 


(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 , Ab? , Em , C?
Am , Ab? , F#? , Ab?

   Am           Ab?         Am        F#?
We stand there accused of the British collusion
   Am       Ab?  F#?      Ab?
Israel into Pales---ti--------ne
   Am         Ab?     Em        C?
A victory for some an astonishing hope
        Am         Ab?       F#?   Ab?
But for him it has brought devasta-----tion
   C?  B?   A?  B?   A?  Ab?  A?  F#?
He lives  li----ke a  pris---'ner   in     ex----ile
   C?  B?   A?  B?   A?  Ab?  Am
He lives  li----ke a  pris---'ner   in    hell


D                C                          Bb
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
      Bbm           Fm         C
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
    Gm           Dm
Can they see the hawk?
            F       Cm
They're too busy in talk of love
Eb               C#          Bb
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
   Em       Eb?     Em
We eat our falafel in peace
    Em           Eb?    Em
The girl lets her uniform slip
    Em           Eb?        Em
The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet
   Em         Eb?      C#?    Eb?
He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za
    Em         Eb?       Em
She listens to Coldplay in Lod
