(repeat as necessary)
We were watching TV, Watching TV
G Em7We were watching TV, Watching TV
Cadd9 A7
In Tiananmen Square, Lost my baby there
G Em7My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes
Cadd9 A7She was a short order pastry chef
In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway
Cadd9 G/BShe had shiny hair
A7 DShe was the daughter of an engineer
Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose
G Em7My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes
Cadd9 A7She had perfect breasts, She had high hopes
She had almond eyes, She had yellow thighs
C C/B A7 DShe was a student of philosophy
G G/F# Em7Won't you grieve with me, for my yellow rose,
Shed a tear, For her bloodstained clothes
G G/F# Em7She had shiny hair, She had perfect breasts
Cadd9 C/B A7 DShe had high hopes, She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
Em7 DShe was the daughter of an engineer
G CSo get out your pistols, Get out your stones
Get out your knives, Cut them to the bone
G G/F# Em7They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
G CThey built the dark satanic mills
That manufacture hell on earth
G G/F# Em7They bought the front row seats on Calvary
C DThey 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 Em7We were watching TV, Watching TV
She wore a white bandanna that said 'Freedom now'
Cadd9She thought the Great Wall of China
A7Would come tumbling down
She was a student
Em7 DHer father was an engineer
G Em7Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose
My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes
Cadd9 A7Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek
Cadd9 A7That no-good low-down dirty rat
Who used to order his troops
A7 DTo fire on the women and children
Imagine that imagine that
And in the spring of '48
G Em7Mao Tse-tung got quite irate
G G/F# Em7And he kicked that old dictator Chiang
Out of the state of China
G Em7Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa
G A7And they armed the island of Quemoy
And the shells were flying across the China Sea
Em7 C C/B A7 DAnd they turned Formosa into a shoe factory called Taiwan
G Cadd9And she is different from Cro-Magnon man
She's different from Anne Boleyn
G G/F# Em7She is different from the Rosenbergs
DAnd from the unknown Jew
She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan
Cadd9 G G/F#Half superstar half victim
Em7 Cadd9 DShe's a victor star conceptually new
And she is different from the Dodo
G Cadd9And from the Kankanbono
G G/F# Em7She is different from the Aztec
And from the Cherokee
G Cadd9She's everybody's sister
G Cadd9She's symbolic of our failure
She's the one in fifty million
Cadd9 DWho can help us to be free
GBecause she died on TV
