We were watching TV, Watching TV

G Em7

We were watching TV, Watching TV

Cadd9 A7

Cadd9 C/B A7 D

G Em7

In Tiananmen Square, Lost my baby there

G Em7

My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes

Cadd9 A7

She was a short order pastry chef

Cadd9 A7

In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway

Cadd9 G/B

She had shiny hair

A7 D

She was the daughter of an engineer

G Em7

Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose

G Em7

My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes

Cadd9 A7

She had perfect breasts, She had high hopes

Cadd9 A7

She had almond eyes, She had yellow thighs

C C/B A7 D

She was a student of philosophy

G G/F# Em7

Won't you grieve with me, for my yellow rose,

G G/F# Em7 D

Shed a tear, For her bloodstained clothes

G G/F# Em7

She had shiny hair, She had perfect breasts

Cadd9 C/B A7 D

She had high hopes, She had almond eyes

G G/F#

She had yellow thighs

Em7 D

She was the daughter of an engineer

G C

So get out your pistols, Get out your stones

G C

Get out your knives, Cut them to the bone

G G/F# Em7

They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine

G C

They built the dark satanic mills

G C

That manufacture hell on earth

G G/F# Em7

They bought the front row seats on Calvary

C D

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 Em7

We were watching TV, Watching TV

G Em7

We were watching TV, Watching TV

Cadd9 A7

She wore a white bandanna that said 'Freedom now'

Cadd9

She thought the Great Wall of China

A7

Would come tumbling down

G G/F#

She was a student

Em7 D

Her father was an engineer

G Em7

Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose

G Em7

My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes

Cadd9 A7

Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek

Cadd9 A7

That no-good low-down dirty rat

C C/B

Who used to order his troops

A7 D

To fire on the women and children

Imagine that imagine that

G Em7

And in the spring of '48

G Em7

Mao Tse-tung got quite irate

G G/F# Em7

And he kicked that old dictator Chiang

D

Out of the state of China

G Em7

Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa

G A7

And they armed the island of Quemoy

G

And the shells were flying across the China Sea

Em7 C C/B A7 D

And they turned Formosa into a shoe factory called Taiwan

G Cadd9

And she is different from Cro-Magnon man

G Cadd9

She's different from Anne Boleyn

G G/F# Em7

She is different from the Rosenbergs

D

And from the unknown Jew

G Cadd9 G

She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan

Cadd9 G G/F#

Half superstar half victim

Em7 Cadd9 D

She's a victor star conceptually new

G Cadd9

And she is different from the Dodo

G Cadd9

And from the Kankanbono

G G/F# Em7

She is different from the Aztec

D

And from the Cherokee

G Cadd9

She's everybody's sister

G Cadd9

She's symbolic of our failure

G G/F# Em7

She's the one in fifty million

Cadd9 D

Who can help us to be free

G

Because she died on TV
