  In a strange land far  ---- from  these shores,
  lay two men and a woman ... killed  ---- by  the law----
  No  matter what country---- .. No  matter how far---
  You  can't get any justice, no  , from the barrel of a gun.
  Sorry i can't remember all of the lyrics..
  I hope you can work it out easily .. if not e-mail me
  or if i am logged on ... try a talk request!!.

   --  -----  - - - -
 With Asus7, Am and muted strings.
   In a strange land
 
   far  from these shores
   lay two men and a women
 
  killed  by the law
   No matter what country
   under the sun
   you can't meter justice
 
   through  the barrel of a gun
   A car bomb they say
 
   the  S.A.S. on offence
   shot in the back
 
  makes  no difference
 (exchange last chorus line with the bridge)
   through the barrel of a g -  u -  n
 
 a  g -  u - n
   Shoot to kill
 
   'till both  sides have their fill
   'till both sides
 
   have their martyrs
   and all the kids
 
   have no fathers
 'till  your mothers  have  no sons
 'till  your battle  it is  won
 'till  both sides  they  have lost
 all  the blood  that  it cost
 
 That's it! Have fun!
