[Verse 1]
---------------------
G                D     C
Margaret Thatcher on TV
                     G               D          C
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
                G               D        C
It 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 (1)]
---------------------
                  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
I don't want him to be aware that there's
C
Any such thing as grieving

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G                D             C
Young mother down at Smithfield
          G           D                C
Five A.M. 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 (2)]
---------------------
                  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
I don't want him to be aware that there's
C
Any such thing as grieving
