Poems

Ryan O'Leary May 25
With guitar chords D, A & G & C
Capo Fret 2.


      There’s no an-gel-us      D

        or no bel-fry’s, any-       A

                 more                    G

    There’s no call to prayer   D

  there’s no min-ar-ets, just   A

                  gore                    G

And you're (rescent moons  C

             have sirens              G

And you're (rescent moons   C

             have sirens              G

         A tsunami tide of          D

      a genocide on your         A

                 shore                   G

        A tsunami tide of           D

      a genocide on your         A

                shore                    G

And you're (rescent moons C

            have sirens               G

And you're (rescent moons   C

           have sirens                G

       No place to hide             D

there’s no inside, there’s       A

             no door                     G

And you're (rescent moons   C

           have sirens                 G

And you're (rescent moons   C

          have sirens                 G

  Somewhere in the din        D

   you’re next of kin is           A

            crying                       G

   Beneath the ruins              D

  you’re only child is              A

             lying                         G

And you're (rescent moons    C

        have sirens                   G

And you're (rescent moons   C

       have sirens                    G

While the world looked on     D

and saw no wrong, you were A

            dying                         G

While the world looked on      D

and saw no wrong you were  A

            dying                          G

And you're (rescent moons   C

          went silent                  G

And you're (rescent moons   C

         went silent                   G

            (fading)

And you're (rescent moons   C

          went silent                 G

And you're (rescent moons   C

         went silent.                  G

Crescent moons are on Ambulances in Gaza.
