The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
E Am
The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
G F E Am
Nor for husband, dictator, tyrant or king
[Verse 2]
Am Dm6
Humble homes with mottoes on the walls
E Dm6 Am E
Symbols and signs in framed designed
Am Dm
Sure to keep the poor poor
Am E Am
In fear of a god who hadn't saved them after all
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And all of my friends are in trouble
E E7 Am
They're sorry, they're sick and they know
Dm Am
All of my friends are in trouble
E Am E
There's no need to go into that now
[Verse 3]
E Am
The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
E Am
The girl from Tel-Aviv who wouldn't kneel
G F E Am
Nor for husband, dictator, tyrant or king
[Verse 4]
Am Dm6
The sorrow my countenance shows
E Dm6 Am E
Is hardly worth mentioning now
Am Dm
Impartial application of the law
Am E Am
In other words legalized torture
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And all of my friends are in trouble
E E7 Am
They're sorry, they're sick and they know
Dm Am
All of my friends are in trouble
E Am E
There's no need to go into that now

G F E Am
La ra la, La ra la, La ra la
[Verse 5]
Am Dm6
Of princes and kings and their costly parade
E Dm6 Am E
Blitz them all back to the Stone Age
Am Dm
The American way displayed proudly
Am E Am
Is to show lots of teeth and talk loudly
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And the land weeps oil
E E7 Am
The land weeps oil
Dm Am
What do you think all these armies are for?
E Am E
Just because the land weeps oil
E Am
Oh
E Am
Oh
G F E Am
La ra la, La ra la, La ra la
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And the land weeps oil
E E7 Am
The land weeps oil
Dm Am
What do you think all these conflicts are for?
E Am E
It's just because the land weeps oil
[Outro]
E Am (x2)
