My Special Child Tom: C Intro: C F 4x *
C I think about my little girl
Her yellow skin and her dark curls
F
And how her father's heart was frozen
C
I spoke to her and I said:
F
"You won't regret the mother you have chosen"
C F C
I lied. Where s she tonight?
C I left him now we're apart
And I think about his cruel heart
F
And how his lies have left mine broken
C
To think that I spoke to him then I said:
F
"She won't regret the father she has chosen"
C F C
I lied. Where's he tonight?
You were precious to me
After all I called you into being
I wanted you to know that
Yes, you were precious to me
she has chosen
C And I miss my little boy
I strayed away, so far away
F C
And I need him tonight
To feel his hands around my face
His loving eyes
His happy face
F C
Would be so right
C
Once I sat in my husband's car
F
Him in my arms, woke up and saw me crying
C
My heart wouldn't work
And this he did my special child
F
He touched my face with his hand and smiled
C
Oh boy, everything's all right
F C
Don't cry, everything's all right
F C
Don't cry, Jakes's here tonight
F C
Don't hide, Jake's here alive

Dm F
You drink your coffee,
Bb C
While I sip my tea,
Dm F
And we're sitting here, playing so cool,
Bb A
Thinking, 'What will be, will be.'
F C
And it's getting kind of late now,

Oh, I wonder if you'll stay now,

Black Boys on Mopeds Tom: D Intro: D D D A A A G G G G G A D...
D A G
Margaret Thatcher on TV
A D A G
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
A D A G
Seems strange that she should be offended
A D A G
The same orders are given by her
I've said this before now You said I was childish and you'll say it now Remember what I told you They hated me, they will hate you
(G) A D A G
CHORUS: England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
D A G
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
D A G
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
D A G
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving
(hold G for extra measure, then A on last beat before verse)
Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m. Looking for food for her kids In her arms she holds three cold babies And the first word that they learned was "Please"
These are dangerous days To say what you feel is to dig your own grave Remember what I told you If you were of the world they would love you
CHORUS
"Ooo" to fade over verse chords, end on D
