Capo 3

Intro:
B minorBm G+G E minorEm B minorBm

B minorBm
I have seen the diamond stylus,
 G+G
Cut a groove from north to south,
 B minorBm                    G+G
Heard them calling from the islands for a better day,
B minorBm
One by one they tell their story,
G+G
One by one it's just the same,
     F# minorF#m
"They've taken our leaders,
               G+G
And all their believers are paralysed,
      B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
And now we can't turn back, somebody is watching you!
 B minorBm  A augmentedA  B minorBm
Don't turn round, yesterday's gone!
  E minorEm           B minorBm          C majorC
And even the children are waking at midnight in tears,
Didn't anyone hear? Mother, mother, mother..."

 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,
 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,
  B minorBm  E minorEm   B minorBm G+G A augmentedA B minorBm
Ooooh, aaah, ooooh, aaah,

 B minorBm
Looking out my bedroom window,
G+G
I remember early days,
 B minorBm                      G+G
When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away,
   B minorBm
But now the shadow of a gunman,
 G+G              F# minorF#m
With his balaclava eyes, is making the news,
                 G+G
Calling out the warnings on the telephone,
        B minorBm A augmentedA  B minorBm
"You're in the line of fire, wish there was another way!
 B minorBm A augmentedA  B minorBm
Line of fire, anything goes,"
   E minorEm           B minorBm          C majorC
And who is the winner, and what will the minister say,
At the end of the day? Never, never, never, never!

 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,
 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,

B minorBm G+G E minorEm B minorBm

   B minorBm         G+G
This is bella soma, this is bella soma,
   E minorEm         B minorBm
This is bella soma, this is bella soma,
   E minorEm         C majorC
This is bella soma, this is bella soma,
Mother, mother, mother...

 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,
 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,
 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     E minorEm
Hush child go to sleep, it's only the sound of a gun,
 G+G     A augmentedA        C majorC     D MajorD     BB      E minorEm
Hush child do not weep, it's only the sound of a world on the run,
