Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm sitting around at the checkpoint
Keeping myself to myself
My heart's going out to the girl with the gun
Ebdim
She is young, she is fun, she is dea-----dly
(note: the next Gdim goes from 14fret in the same position as the D#dim)
She clocks off, goes back to the ci-----ty
Goes to a club with her friends
Bass

E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|
(then next verse goes as first)
I just took a walk through the checkpoint
Past columns of poor Arab sons
They queue through the day for a chance to make pay
For something to put in their mouths
He can't sleep at night without gunfire
The lullaby puts him to sleep
Bass
A|-7-------------------|
E|---7-0-0-2-2-3-3-7-7-|
We stand there accused of the British collusion
Israel into Pales---ti--------ne
A victory for some an astonishing hope
Abdim
But for him it has brought devasta-----tion
He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in ex----ile
He lives li----ke a pris---'ner in hell
Loves black and white in the blue vault of space
Swoop around like a symbol of peace
Can they see the hawk?
They're too busy in talk of love
Why should they contemplate fear?
(and so the next goes quite as the first verse)
Everyone meets in the cramped city streets
Hipsters of Zion collide
To talk music and dross
At the sign of The Cross
We eat our falafel in peace
The girl lets her uniform slip
The boy cracks a joke, he is sweet
Ebdim
He listens to hip hop in Ga--------za
She listens to Coldplay in Lod
