Black Boys On Mopeds

D            A        G
Margaret Thatcher on TV
           A   D              
Shocked by the deaths that took 
  A           G
place in Beijing
A     D                A         
Seems strange that she should be 
  G
offended
    A    D          A        G
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

[Chorus]
        (G)       A       D       
        England's not the mythical
 A       G
 land of Madame George and roses

                 D         A      
        It's the home of police 
       G
who kill black boys on mopeds
            D         A      
        And I love my boy, and 
  G
that's why I'm leaving
                D              A  
        I don't want him to be 
                G
aware that there's any such thing as
 grieving
           (hold G for extra 
measure, then A on last beat before 
verse)

[Verse 2]
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]
        (G)       A       D       
        England's not the mythical
 A       G
 land of Madame George and roses
                 D         A      
        It's the home of police 
       G
who kill black boys on mopeds
            D         A      
        And I love my boy, and 
  G
that's why I'm leaving
                D              A  
        I don't want him to be 
                G
aware that there's any such thing as
 grieving
           (hold G for extra
