Leaving Beirut
Tono: Original
C E E7
Are these the people that we should bomb
F G
Are we so sure they mean us harm
C E E7
Is this our pleasure, punishment or crime
F G
Is this a mountain that we really want to climb
C E E7
The road is hard, hard and long
F
Put down that two by four
G C
This man would never turn you from his door
E E7
Oh George! Oh George!
F G C
That Texas education must have ed you up when you were very small
C E E7
When I was 17 my mother, bless her heart,
F G C
Fulfilled my summer dream she handed me the keys to the car
E E7
We motored down to Paris, fuelled with Dexedrine and booze
F G
Got bust in Antibes by the cops and fleeced in Naples by the wops
C E E7
But everyone was kind to us, we were the English dudes
F
Our dads had helped them win the war
G C
When we all knew what we were fighting for
E E7
But now an Englishman abroad is just a US stooge
F G
The bulldog is a poodle snapping round the scoundrel's last refuge
C
Is gentleness too much for us
E E7 F
Should gentleness be filed along with empathy
G
We feel for someone else's child
C E E7
Every time a smart bomb does its sums and gets it wrong
F G
Someone else's child dies and equities in defence rise
C E E7
America, America, please hear us when we call
F
You got hip-hop, be-bop, hustle and bustle
G
You got Atticus Finch, you got Jane Russell
C
You got freedom of speech, you got great beaches,
E E7
Wildernesses and malls
F
Don't let the might, the Christian right,
G C
it all up for you and the rest of the world
C E E7
Not in my name, Tony, you great war leader you
F G
Terror is still terror, whosoever gets to frame the rules
C E E7
History's not written by the vanquished or the damned
F G
Now we are Genghis Khan, Lucretia Borghia, Son of Sam
C E E7
In 1961 they took this child into their home
F G
I wonder what became of them in the cauldron that was Lebanon
C E E7
If I could find them now, could I make amends?
F G C
How does the story end?
