with each chord playing for half a line except the ed chords which play for half the  
time of the other chords. To make things easier (maybe) I've put the chords in roughly the  
right place for every section. 

I found it sounded better playing standard chord shapes at the nut rather than barre  
chords, but I leave it to your judgement. 

Am                               G 
This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza 
Am                             Em 
This is for the child that is searching for the answer 
Am                                 G 
I wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter 
Am           Em      Am 
Long live Palestine, Long live Gaza! 

Am                                G 
While we listen to tunes, made by ignorant fools 
  Am                         Em 
Israel blocked the UN from delivering food 
        Am                                     G 
They'll bring in the troops and you won't even glimpse at the news 
          Am           Em                   Am 
They make money of the products that we are quick to consume... 

Am      G       Am         Em 
Free my people, long live Palestine 
Am      G     Am  Em  Am 
We will never let you go... 

Am                   G 
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine 
Am                   Em 
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine 
Am                   G 
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine 
Am              Em    Am 
Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine...
