Intro/strum pattern: D A G, with an A on the last beat before returning to

RE LA SOL
Margaret Thatcher on TV
LA RE LA SOL
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
LA RE LA SOL
Seems strange that she should be offended
LA RE LA SOL
The same orders are given by her
I've said this before now
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
Remember what I told you
They hated me, they will hate you
(G) LA RE LA SOL
CHORUS: England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
RE LA SOL
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
RE LA SOL
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
RE LA SOL
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
(hold G for extra measure, then A on last beat before verse)
Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m.
Looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
And the first word that they learned was "Please"
These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
Remember what I told you
If you were of the world they would love you
CHORUS
