Version 1 Version 2
BLACK BOYS ON MOPEDS
Sinéad O'Connor
(from "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got")
Capo: 4th fret
Listen to record for strum pattern. Sinéad just casually strums with her thumb.
The whole song is basically G D C C
[Verse 1]
G D C
Margaret Thatcher on TV
G D C
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
G D C
Seems strange that she should be offended
G D C
The same orders are given by her
G D C
I've said this before now
G D C
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
G D C
Remember what I told you
G D C
If they hated me, they will hate you
[Chorus]
G D C
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
G D C
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
G D C
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
G D C
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
[Verse 2]
G D C
Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m.
G D C
Looking for food for her kids
G D C
In her arms she holds three cold babies
G D C
And the first word that they learned was "Please"
G D C
These are dangerous days
G D C
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
G D C
Remember what I told you
G D C
If you were of the world they would love you
[Chorus]
G D C
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
G D C
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
G D C
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
G D C
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
"Ooooh" to fade over verse chords, end on G
