Zimbabwe Ruins - John Edmond
Note: All Chords in this song are arpeggiated
[Intro]
D A D A G D
[Verse]
D
Oh The Green and White don't fly no more
Em
In Salisbury
A D
And the PM doesn't drive a modest car
Em
And they've changed the name and now it's called Harare
A D
And there's strangers drinking in the Flagstaff bar
A
And the trash is piling up
D
On all the pavements
A D
And you can't get milk and sugar, tea or bread
Em
The country's broke, and hospitals are crowded
A
So if you get sick
D
You have to share a bed
[Chorus]
D
Zimbabwe ruins,
G D
You were a wonder of the world
A
And they came from far to gaze upon your stones
D
Zimbabwe ruins
G D
Oh, how the tide has turned
A D
Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones
[Interlude]
D A D A G D
[Verse]
D Em
The troopie statue's gone away from Cranborne
A D
And the RLI aren't based there any more
D Em
And the gooks have made a compound out of Brady
A D
And the beerhall in the quartermaster's store
A D
And someone blew the ammo, at Nkomo
A
And Joshua and the boys
D
Have all been framed
Em
And ZAPU want to have a go at ZANU
A
And I think that Muzorewa
D
Will be blamed
[Outro]
D
Zimbabwe ruins,
G D
You were a wonder of the world
A
And they came from far to gaze upon your stones
D
Zimbabwe ruins
G D
Oh, how the tide has turned
A D
Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones
A D
Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones
