Beirut Moon

E
We'd like to help you, the consul 
said
             B              D
But there's nothing we can do
E
Well, you knew the risks when you 
took the job
      B                D
After all you're not a fool
    E
So, don't call me, don't call me
  B                   D
I just can't bend the rules
E
Keep your chin up, I know it's tough
B                  D
Somehow you'll get through."
E                      B          
It seems the Americans bargain and 
 D
rescue
E
But if you get caught you're left to
 rot
B               D
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

(Refr:)
E
Under a Beirut Moon
D                  D
Sorry son, there's nothing we can do
E
Under a Beirut Moon
D                   D
Different rules, we haven't got a 
clue

E
We can't be seen to be giving in
Continues after the ad
         B              D
To these terrorists you see
E
If we talk with them it would mean 
the end
   B                D
Of all that we hold dear
   E
So don't call me, don't call me
    B           D
I'm doing all I can
E
Although it seems from where you sit
B              D
I don't give a damn."
E                                 
Back home they'll remember you in 
B          D
papers, on TV
E
Because when you're caught you're 
left to rot
B               D
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

(Refr:)
E
Under a Beirut Moon
D                  D
Sorry son, there's nothing we can do
E
Under a Beirut Moon
D                   D
Different rules, we haven't got a 
clue

E              G               D
And though you dream of being free
E                G               D
There's not much hope that I can see
B               D
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

E
Now just today on the news I saw
  B               D
A hostage walking free
E
He talked of how it came about
   B           D
He gained his liberty
         E
He said, don't give up, don't give 
up
B              D
Argue, beg and plead
E
Keep the pressure up, don't let it 
drop
B                   D
Somehow you'll get free
E                           B    
He said the Americans would 
       D
bargain and rescue
E
But when Brits get caught they're 
left to rot
B               D
Under a Beirut, under the Beirut 
Moon
