      Am             F            G 
I found a black beret on the street today 
       Am 
It was lying in the gutter all torn 
          C/G        F                G 
There's a white flag flying on a tall building 
        E9/G#                 E 
But the kids just watch the storm 

        Am             F    G 
Their dirty faces pressed on the windows 
      Am 
Shattered glass before their eyes 
      C/G      F              G 
There's a mad dog barking in a burned out subway 
          E9/G#                E 
Where the sniper sleeps at night 

        Am            F 
No birthday songs to sing again 
        G      E7/G#   Am 
Just bricks and stones to give them 
C/G      F              G 
Wrap them up in your father's flags 
            E/G#   E 
And let them cry to heaven 

        Am            F 
No birthday songs to sing again 
        G      E7/G#   Am 
Just bricks and stones to give them 
C/G      F              G 
Wrap them up in your father's flags 
            E/G#   E 
And let them cry to heaven 

      Am           F 
There are many graves by a cold lake 
       G           Am 
As the beds were when your babies are born 
         C/G      F            G 
And your rag doll sits with a permanent grin 
        E9/G#             E 
But the kids just watch the storm 

    Am          F          G 
I saw a black cat tease a white mouse 
     Am 
Until he killed it with his claws 
    C/G    F        G 
Seems a lot of countries do the same thing 
E9/G#          E 
Before they go to war

                Am     F 
Let them cry to heaven 
                Am     F 
Let them cry to heaven 
         G      Am 
Let them cry to heaven
