In Tiananmen Squa[G]re,     Lost my baby t[Em7]here
My yellow r[G]ose,          In her bloodstained cl[Em7]othes
She was a [Cadd9]short order p[A7]astry chef
In a [Cadd9]Dim Sum dive on the Yangt[A7]ze tideway
She had [Cadd9]shiny hair   [G/B]
She was the[A7] daughter of an engineer[D]
Won't you shed a [G]tear,   For my yellow r[Em7]ose
My yellow ro[G]se,          In her bloodstained [Em7]clothes
She had [Cadd9]perfect breasts, She had [A7]high hopes
She had [Cadd9]almond eyes,     She had [A7]yellow thighs
She was a [C]student[C/B] of ph[A7]ilosophy[D]
                      [G]   [G/f#]    [Em7]
Won't you grieve with me, for my yellow rose,
            [G]    [G/f#]   [Em7]                     [D]
Shed a tear,             For her bloodstained clothes
        [G]        [G/f#]            [Em7]
She had shiny hair,      She had perfect breasts
She had[Cadd9] high hopes,[C/B]      She had[A7] almond eyes[D]
        [G]           [G/f#]
She had yellow thighs
She was the [Em7]daughter of an engineer[D]
So get out your [G]pistols, Get out your stone[C]s
Get out your kn[G]ives,     Cut them to the bo[C]ne
             [G]        [G/f#]       [Em7]
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
They built the [G]dark satanic mills[C]
That manu[G]facture hell on earth[C]
                [G]        [G/f#]        [Em7]
They bought the front row seats on Calvary
They are [C]irrelevant to me [D]

And I g[D]rieve for my sist[Ddim5]er

People of China
Do not forget do not forget
The children who died for you
Long live the Republic
Did we do anything after this
I've a feeling we did

She wore a [Cadd9]white bandanna that said 'F[A7]reedom now'
She thought the[Cadd9] Great Wall of China
Would co[A7]me tumbling down
[G]               [G/f#]
She was a student
Her f[Em7]ather was an engin[D]eer
Won't you shed a t[G]ear,   For my yellow r[Em7]ose
My yellow ro[G]se,          In her bloodstained cl[Em7]othes
Her [Cadd9]grandpa fought old C[A7]hiang Kai-shek
That[Cadd9] no-good low-down di[A7]rty rat
Who [C]used to order his [C/B]troops
To f[A7]ire on the women and [D]children

Imagine that imagine that
An[G]d in the spring of '4[Em7]8
Ma[G]o Tse-tung got quite ira[Em7]te
  [G]               [G/f#]         [Em7]
And he kicked that old dictator Chiang
Out of the [D]state of China
Ch[G]iang Kai-shek came down in F[Em7]ormosa
[G]And they armed the island of Q[A7]uemoy
And the [G]shells were flying across the China Sea
And they [Em7]turned Formosa into a [C]shoe factory[C/B] called[A7] Taiwa[D]n
And she is [G]different from Cro-M[Cadd9]agnon man
She's [G]different from A[Cadd9]nne Boleyn
       [G]         [G/f#]        [Em7]
She is different from the Rosenbergs
And f[D]rom the unknown Jew
[G]She is different from the[Cadd9] unknown Nicara[G]guan
[Cadd9]          [G]           [G/f#]
Half superstar half victim
She's a [Em7]victor star co[Cadd9]nceptually new[D]
[G]And she is different from the [Cadd9]Dodo
[G]And from the Kankanbo[Cadd9]no
[G]                [G/f#]        [Em7]
She is different from the Aztec
And f[D]rom the Cherokee
Sh[G]e's everybody's [Cadd9]sister
S[G]he's symbolic of our fai[Cadd9]lure
     [G]          [G/f#]       [Em7]
She's the one in fifty million
Who can [Cadd9]help us to be free [D]
Because she died on TV[G]
