intro: E5

    E5       Eb5         E5   C#5
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
E5        Eb5    C#5  Eb5
Keeping myself to myself
   E5            Eb5      E5            C#5
My heart's going out to the girl with the gun
       E5            Eb5        C#5  Eb5
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 )

    Ab5  F#5  E5  F#5  E5 Eb5  E5   C#5
She clocks off,   goes  back    to  the     ci-----ty
Ab5 F#5  E5    F#5   E5  Eb5   E5
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: A5 , Ab5 , E5 , C5
A5 , Ab5 , F#5 , Ab5

   A5           Ab5         A5        F#5
We stand there accused of the British collusion
   A5       Ab5  F#5      Ab5
Israel into Pales---ti--------ne
   A5         Ab5     E5        C5
A victory for some an astonishing hope
        A5         Ab5       F#5   Ab5
But for him it has brought devasta-----tion
   C5  B5   A5  B5   A5  Ab5  A5  F#5
He lives  li----ke a  pris---'ner   in     ex----ile
   C5  B5   A5  B5   A5  Ab5  A5
He lives  li----ke a  pris---'ner   in    hell


D5                C5                          Bb5
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
      Bb5           F5         C5
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
    G5           D5
Can they see the hawk?
            F5       C5
They're too busy in talk of love
Eb5               C#5          Bb5
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
   E5       Eb5     E5
We eat our falafel in peace
    E5           Eb5    E5
The girl lets her uniform slip
    E5           Eb5        E5
The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet
   E5         Eb5      C#5    Eb5
He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za
    E5         Eb5       E5
She listens to Coldplay in Lod
