[Verse 1]
Am7       Em7                 Am7
   If you smile at me, I will understand
                       Em7
Cause that is something   everybody everywhere does
      Am7        Em7
In the   same language

[Verse 2]
Am7 Em7 Am7     Em7
           I can   see by your coat,
my friend
               Am7
You're from the   other side
            Em7
There's just   one thing I got to know
        Am7                     Em7
Can you tell me please, who won?

[Verse 3]
Am7 Em7 Am7
           Say,
Em7
   can I have some of your purple berries?
Am7
Yes,
                             Em7
I've been eating them for six   or seven weeks now
           Am7
Haven't got   sick once
                     Em7
Probably keep us both   alive

[Verse 5]
Em7                   G     A   D
Horror grips us as we watch you die
Em7                        G A       D
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Em7                G  A     D
Stare as all human feelings die

Em7                        G  A   D
Go, take your sister then, by the hand
Em7                     G A     D
Lead her away from this foreign land
Em7                      G     A D
Far away, where we might laugh again
       Cmaj7
We are leaving,

   And it's a fair wind     blowin' warm
                 Em7
Out of the south over my shoulder
Cmaj7          Em7                   Cmaj7 Em7
     Guess I'll   set a course and go
