             G        G/F#       
They are the lackeys of the grocer's
Em7
 machine
               G                 C
They built the dark satanic mills
         G                    C
That manufacture hell on earth

And I grieve for my sister

People of China
Do not forget do not forget
The children who died for you
Long live the Republic
Did we do anything after this
I've a feeling we did

We were watching TV,     Watching 
Em7
TV
           Cadd9                   
She wore a white bandanna that said
   A7
 'Freedom now'
               Cadd9
She thought the Great Wall of China
        A7
Would come tumbling down

My yellow rose,          In her 
                Em7
bloodstained clothes
    Cadd9               A7
Her grandpa fought old Chiang 
Kai-shek
    Cadd9               A7
That no-good low-down dirty rat

Who used to order his troops
    A7                   D
To fire on the women and children

Imagine that imagine that
  G                    Em7
And in the spring of '48
  G                       Em7
Mao Tse-tung got quite irate
  G               G/F#         
And he kicked that old dictator 
Em7
Chiang
           D
Out of the state of China
  G                           Em7
Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa
G                             A7
And they armed the island of Quemoy
        G
And the shells were flying across 
the China Sea
         Em7                   C  
And they turned Formosa into a 
         C/B    A7    D
shoe factory called Taiwan

She is different from the unknown
       G
 Nicaraguan
Cadd9          G           G/F#
Half superstar half victim
        Em7           Cadd9       
She's a victor star conceptually 
  D
new
G                             Cadd9
And she is different from the Dodo
G                    Cadd9
And from the Kankanbono
G                G/F#        Em7
She is different from the Aztec

And from the Cherokee
  G               Cadd9
She's everybody's sister
 G                       Cadd9
She's symbolic of our failure
     G          G/F#       Em7
She's the one in fifty million
        Cadd9              D
Who can help us to be free
                      G
Because she died on TV
