I'm sure this is in OLGA, but it's easy enough to whip up. Sinead plays it
in B, which you can try if you're a masochist...

BLACK BOYS ON MOPEDS
Sinead O'Connor
(from _I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got_)
Intro/strum pattern: D A G, with an A on the last beat before returning to
D. Spelled out in 3/4 time, it goes: D D D A A A G G G G G A D...
DMargaret ThatAcher on TGV
Shocked by Athe Ddeaths that took Aplace in BeiGjing
ASeems Dstrange that she Ashould be ofGfended
The Asame Dorders are Agiven by Gher
I've said this before now
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
Remember what I told you
They hated me, they will hate you
(G) A D A G
CHORUS: England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
It's the Dhome of poAlice who kill Gblack boys on mopeds
And DI love my Aboy, and Gthat's why I'm leaving
I don't Dwant him to be Aaware that there's Gany such thing as grieving
(hold G for extra measure, then A on last beat before verse)
Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m.
Looking for food for her kids
In her arms she holds three cold babies
And the first word that they learned was "Please"
These are dangerous days
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
Remember what I told you
If you were of the world they would love you
CHORUS
"Ooo" to fade over verse chords, end on D
