G+G E minor 7Em7
We were watching TV, Watching TV

We were watching TV, Watching TV
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
Cadd9Cadd9 C/BC/B A7A7 D MajorD
G+G E minor 7Em7
In Tiananmen Square, Lost my baby there
G+G E minor 7Em7
My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
She was a short order pastry chef
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway
Cadd9Cadd9 G/BG/B
She had shiny hair
A7A7 D MajorD
She was the daughter of an engineer
G+G E minor 7Em7
Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose
G+G E minor 7Em7
My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
She had perfect breasts, She had high hopes
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
She had almond eyes, She had yellow thighs
C majorC C/BC/B A7A7 D MajorD
She was a student of philosophy
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
Won't you grieve with me, for my yellow rose,
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Shed a tear, For her bloodstained clothes
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
She had shiny hair, She had perfect breasts
Cadd9Cadd9 C/BC/B A7A7 D MajorD
She had high hopes, She had almond eyes
G+G G/F#
She had yellow thighs
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
She was the daughter of an engineer
G+G C majorC
So get out your pistols, Get out your stones
G+G C majorC
Get out your knives, Cut them to the bone
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
G+G C majorC
They built the dark satanic mills
G+G C majorC
That manufacture hell on earth
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
They bought the front row seats on Calvary
C majorC D MajorD
They are irrelevant to me
**D **Ddim5
And I grieve for my sister
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
G+G E minor 7Em7
We were watching TV, Watching TV
G+G E minor 7Em7
We were watching TV, Watching TV
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
She wore a white bandanna that said 'Freedom now'
Cadd9Cadd9
She thought the Great Wall of China
A7A7
Would come tumbling down
G+G G/F#
She was a student
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Her father was an engineer
G+G E minor 7Em7
Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose
G+G E minor 7Em7
My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek
Cadd9Cadd9 A7A7
That no-good low-down dirty rat
C majorC C/BC/B
Who used to order his troops
A7A7 D MajorD
To fire on the women and children
Imagine that imagine that
G+G E minor 7Em7
And in the spring of '48
G+G E minor 7Em7
Mao Tse-tung got quite irate
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
And he kicked that old dictator Chiang
D MajorD
Out of the state of China
G+G E minor 7Em7
Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa
G+G A7A7
And they armed the island of Quemoy
G+G
And the shells were flying across the China Sea
E minor 7Em7 C majorC C/BC/B A7A7 D MajorD
And they turned Formosa into a shoe factory called Taiwan
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And she is different from Cro-Magnon man
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
She's different from Anne Boleyn
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
She is different from the Rosenbergs
D MajorD
And from the unknown Jew
G+G Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G G/F#
Half superstar half victim
E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
She's a victor star conceptually new
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And she is different from the Dodo
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And from the Kankanbono
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
She is different from the Aztec
D MajorD
And from the Cherokee
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
She's everybody's sister
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
She's symbolic of our failure
G+G G/F# E minor 7Em7
She's the one in fifty million
Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
Who can help us to be free
G+G
