[Fm] What have we here?

Shaken [Fm] out of a boot [Ab] on its way back [Db] to war
And he's not [Ab] looking for [Cm] a father [Fm] or a mother
[Db] Just a seven-year [Ab]-old brother on [Bbm] this much-lined [Eb] border camp of [Fm] refugees
I am [Ab] the one who will [Db] remember everything

[Db] all the orphans of forgetting.
[Fm] Give them stars to [Ab] laugh and praise, for good [Db] luck is a band [Bbm]-aid.
Happy [Eb] birthday, yes of course I did remember, I remember [Fm] everything.
[Ab]
[Db] Oh [Fm] come over here, [Ab] kid, we've got [Db] all these books to read,
with the [Fm] turtles and frogs, [Ab] cats and dogs, the [Db] civilized, the centuries.
And [Ab] in a world that's angry, cruel, and furious, [Db] there's this monkey who's [Ab] just curious,
[Bbm] floating high above [Eb] a park with bright [Fm] balloons,
I [Ab] am the one who will [Db] remember everything.
