[Gm]
[G] There is a woman in [Gm] Somalia
[A] Scraping for [Bb] pearls [C] on the [Dm]
roadside
[Eb] There's a force [Bb] stronger than nature
Keeps [D] [C] her will [D] alive
[Gm] This is how she's dying
[Bb] She is [F] dying [C] to [Dm] survive
[Eb] Don't know what she [Bb] is made [Cm] of
[Bb] [D] I would like [C] to be that red
[D]
She cries [Eb] to the heavens
[Bb] [Eb]
[F]
[Bb] There is a storm
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F]
[Dm] She [Eb] lives a lie
She didn't choose
[Bb] [F] And it hurts like brand [Bb] new shoes
[Gm] And
[F] [D] it hurts like brand [Gm] new shoes
There is a woman in Somalia
[Gm] The [Bb] sun gives her no mercy
[Gm]
The [Eb] same [Gm] sky we lay under
[Eb] [D] Burns her to the bone
Long [Gm] as [A] afternoon [Bb] shadow
[C] [Gm]
It's [Bb] gonna take her to get [Gm] home
[Eb] Each grain [Bb] carefully rubbed
[Eb] [Gm] down
Pearls for her little [D] girl

She [Eb] lives in a world she didn't [Bb]
choose
[F] And it hurts like [Gm] brand new [Bb] shoes

And it hurts like brand new shoes
