By a lonely prison wall I heard a [C] young [G] girl call them
Michael, they have [C] taken [Em] you [D] away For
[G] you stole Trofian's car
the young might see them [D] all Now the prison ship lies waiting in [G] the bay
[E] Oh,
[A] that
[E] feels so [C#m] better than rhyme [E]
Where once we watched [C#m] the small green birds [F#m] fly
Michael, they have [C] taken [Em] you [D] away For
[G] you stole Trofian's car
the young might see them [D] all Now the prison ship lies waiting in [G] the bay
[E] Oh,
[A] that
[E] feels so [C#m] better than rhyme [E]
Where once we watched [C#m] the small green birds [F#m] fly
