 Subject: CRD: Sinead O'Connor, "Black Boys on Mopeds"
 I'm sure this is in OLGA, but it's easy enough to whip up.  Sinead plays it 
 in B, which you can try if you're a masochist...

 BLACK BOYS ON MOPEDS
 Sinead O'Connor
 (from _I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got_)
 
 Intro/strum pattern: D A G, with an A on the last beat before returning to 
   D.  Spelled out in 3/4 time, it goes: 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
