Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Dm][G][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Holding on, with both eyes,
to things that don't [C]exist[G]
Peering [C]through [G]the cutting wrist,
at grand old mother greedy
Rolling out the cotton ship,
upon the carpet pillow
Throttling children callously,

[Verse 2]
a messy day with Clancy
[G]
Gideon [D]lied [Em]and Gideon died[D][C]
The [D]force of China [G]felt[D][G]
Gideon [D]smiled [Em]as Gideon died[D][C]
The [D]thought of China held.

[Verse 3]
[G]Rolling out the golden [C]robes and
[G]other foreign language
Stretching [C]out [G]the verbs and nouns
together in the greeting
Some that felt the blade often,
some deep confused emotion
Struck eye first against the wall

[Verse 4]
of China under fire.
[G]
Gideon [D]lied [Em]and Gideon died[D][C]
The [D]force of China [G]felt[D][G]
Gideon [D]smiled [Em]as[C]
[Em]Gideon [C]die[D]d[C]
The [D]thought of China held.
