Am C G F
I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli
Am C F G
Fighting for freedom, a better place to be
Am C G F
I wonder if there's a young man not far off the same as me
Am C F G
Wielding his ideas for others to see
Am
There's a roof on my head
C
And I'm well fed
F Am
And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see
C G
So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli
F G Am
For their dreams are far from ... I sing
Am C G F
Controlled by a man we've all known and seen before
Am C G F
Killing on his doorstep as the blood runs down his doors
Am C G F
Poisoning his people with words spun from the west
Am C G F
He's giving them arms to fight while in his past head down he rests
There's a roof on my head
And I'm well fed
And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see
So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli
For their dreams are far from ... I sing
The disaster's on the news as the battle rages on
Limbs are pulled from the rubble and all I can do is look on
Before I stop my day, before I'm back in ...
I ask could we do more if we didn't ...
Well they're sending ships and planes and a no-fly zone is arranged
As the government plays Risk once again
And I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli
Fighting for their freedom, a better place to be
There's a roof on my head
And I'm well fed
And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see
So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli
For their dreams are far from ... I sing
Am
There's a roof on my head
C
And I'm well fed
F Am
And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see
C G
So spare a thought should daily passes you by
F G
And the little things get you down
F G
Oh the little things pass you by
F G
And the little things feel like a thorn
Am
In your sight
Am C G F
I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli
Am C F G
Fighting for freedom, a better place to be
Am C G F
I wonder if there's a young man not far off the same as me
Am C G Am
Wielding his ideas I wonder if he'll live to see
