verse 1 
    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 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 

    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 

    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 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 

        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 

        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
