| Intro: |
| | G | |
| G |
| Pushing through |
| Em |
| The market square |
| A |
| So many mothers sighing |
| A |
| News had just come over |
| C |
| We had five years left to |
| G |
| Cry in (cry in) |
| G |
| News guy wept and told us |
| Em A |
| Earth was really dying (dying) |
| Cried so much his face was wet |
| C |
| Then I knew he was not lying |
| C |
| (lying) |
| G |
| I heard telephones |
| G |
| Opera house, favourite melodies |
| Em |
| I saw boys, toys |
| Em |
| Electric irons and TVs |
| A |
| My brain hurt like a warehouse |
| A |
| It had no room to spare |
| C |
| I had to cram so many things |
| C |
| To store everything in there |
| Am C |
| And all the fat, skinny people |
| Am C |
| And all the tall, short people |

| A girl my age went off her head |
| A |
| Hit some tiny children |
| A |
| If the black hadn't have |
| A |
| Pulled her off |
| C |
| I think she |
| G |
| Would have killed them |
| G |
| A soldier with a broken arm |
| Em |
| Fixed his stare to the wheels |
| A |
| Of a Cadillac |
| A |
| A cop knelt and kissed the |
| A |
| Feet of a priest |
| C |
| And a queer threw up at the |
| G |
| Sight of that |
| G |
| I think I saw you in an ice-cream |
| Em |
| Parlour |
| Em |
| Drinking milkshakes cold and long |
| A |
| Smiling and waving and looking |
| C |
| So fine |
| C |
| Don't think you knew you |
| C |
| Were in this song |
| G |
| And it was cold and it rained |
| G |
| So I felt like an actor |
| Em |
| And I thought of Ma and I |
| Em |
| Wanted to get back there |
| A |
| Your face, your race |
| A |
| The way that you talk |
| C |
| I kiss you, you're beautiful |
| C |
| I want you to walk |
| G |
