We were watching [G]TV, Watching [Em7]TV
We were watching [G]TV, Watching [Em7]TV
[Cadd9] [A7]
[Cadd9] [A7]
[Cadd9] [C/B] [A7] [D]
In Tiananmen [G]Square, Lost my baby [Em7]there
My yellow [G]rose, In her bloodstained [Em7]clothes
She was a [Cadd9]short order [A7]pastry chef
In a [Cadd9]Dim Sum dive on the [A7]Yangtze 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 [Em7]rose
My yellow [G]rose, 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 [A7]philosophy[D]
Won't you grieve with [G]me, [G/F#]for my [Em7]yellow rose,
Shed a tear,[G] [G/F#] [Em7] For her bloodstained [D]clothes
She had [G]shiny [G/F#]hair, She had [Em7]perfect breasts
She had[Cadd9] high hopes,[C/B] She had[A7] almond eyes[D]
She had [G]yellow [G/F#]thighs
She was the [Em7]daughter of an engineer[D]
So get out your [G]pistols, Get out your [C]stones
Get out your [G]knives, Cut them to the [C]bone
They are the [G]lackeys [G/F#]of the [Em7]grocer's machine
They built the [G]dark satanic mills[C]
That [G]manufacture hell on earth[C]
They bought the [G]front row[G/F#] seats on [Em7]Calvary
They are [C]irrelevant to me[D]
**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
We were watching [G]TV, Watching [Em7]TV
We were watching [G]TV, Watching [Em7]TV
She wore a [Cadd9]white bandanna that said [A7]'Freedom now'
She thought the[Cadd9] Great Wall of China
Would [A7]come tumbling down
[G]She was a [G/F#]student
Her [Em7]father was an [D]engineer
Won't you shed a [G]tear, For my yellow [Em7]rose
My yellow [G]rose, In her bloodstained [Em7]clothes
Her [Cadd9]grandpa fought old [A7]Chiang Kai-shek
That[Cadd9] no-good low-down [A7]dirty rat
Who [C]used to order his [C/B]troops
To [A7]fire on the women and [D]children
Imagine that imagine that
[G]And in the spring of [Em7]'48
[G]Mao Tse-tung got quite [Em7]irate
[G]And he kicked that[G/F#] old dictator[Em7] Chiang
Out of the [D]state of China
[G]Chiang Kai-shek came down in [Em7]Formosa
[G]And they armed the island of [A7]Quemoy
And the [G]shells were flying across the China Sea
And they [Em7]turned Formosa into a [C]shoe factory[C/B] called[A7] [D]Taiwan
And she is [G]different from [Cadd9]Cro-Magnon man
She's [G]different from [Cadd9]Anne Boleyn
She is [G]different [G/F#]from the [Em7]Rosenbergs
And [D]from the unknown Jew
[G]She is different from the[Cadd9] unknown [G]Nicaraguan
[Cadd9]Half superstar [G]half victim[G/F#]
She's a [Em7]victor star [Cadd9]conceptually new[D]
[G]And she is different from the [Cadd9]Dodo
[G]And from the [Cadd9]Kankanbono
[G]She is different [G/F#]from the [Em7]Aztec
And [D]from the Cherokee
[G]She's everybody's [Cadd9]sister
[G]She's symbolic of our [Cadd9]failure
She's[G] the one in[G/F#] fifty [Em7]million
Who can [Cadd9]help us to be free[D]
Because she died on TV[G]
