Song Of Bangladesh Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ Bangladesh, _ _ _ [E] Bangladesh, _ _ _ [C] Bangladesh, _
_ _ _ [G] Bangladesh _ _
When [F] the _ sun sinks [C] in the _ west, die a [G] million people of the [E] Bangladesh _ _ _ _ _
[Am] The _ _ story _ of Bangladesh _ _ [C] is an ancient one, [G] again made _ fresh
[E] By blind men _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [F] which [C] fly out of the laws upon which [G] nations stand
Which say [Am] to sacrifice a [E] people for a _ _
[E] _ land
_ _ _ [Am] Bangladesh, _ _ _ _ [E] Bangladesh, _ _
_ [C] Bangladesh, _ _ _ [G] _
Bangladesh
_ When [F] the sun sinks [C] in the _ west, die [G] a million people _ of the Bangladesh
[E] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ Once again _ we [E] stand aside and [C] watch the families _ [G] crucified
_ _ _ [E] See a teenage _ [Am] mother's aching time [C] as she watches _ her [G] feeble baby try
To [Am] fight the monsoon _ [E] rains and the cholera flies _ _ _ _
And [Am] the students at the [E] _
university _ _ [C] asleep at night [G] quite peacefully
_ _ [E] The soldiers came and [Am] shot them in their [F] beds and [C] terror took the dawn
[G] Awakening shrieks of dread and [Am] silent frozen _ forms in pillows [E] drenched in [E] red _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Am] Bangladesh, _ _ _
_ [E] Bangladesh, _ _ _ [C] _
Bangladesh, _ _ _ [G] Bangladesh _
When [F] the sun sinks [C] in the west, die a [G] million people _ of the [E] Bangladesh
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
Did _ you read about the [E] army officer's plea?
[C] For donors' blood it [G] was given willingly _ _
[E] By boys who took the [Am] needle ends _ [F] and from [C] their bodies
Every drop [G] of blood was drained, no [Am] time to comprehend
And there was [E] little pain _
_ _ _ _ And so [Am] the story of _ [E] Bangladesh _ is [C] an ancient one again [G] made _ _ fresh
[E] By all who carry [Am] us [C] _ _ [F] out of the laws upon [G] which nations stand
Which say to [Am] sacrifice the people [E] for a _ _ land _ _ _ _
[B] _ [Am] Bangladesh, _ _ _ [E] Bangladesh, _ _ _ [C] Bangladesh, _ _ _
_ [G] Bangladesh
_ When [F] the sun sinks in [C] the west, die a [G] million people of the [E] Bangladesh
