Refugee

G                    C
700 people sailing on the ocean
Em
Don’t know where they’re going
F
As they’re out there on the sea
Am
Don’t know what will happen
Em
Or who they have to please
F                                         G-Am
Just sit back and watch the, refugees

Am
From a distant shoreline
Em
They began their journey
G
Had to get to somewhere
F
Fleeing for their lives
Am
Once they lived their paradise
Em
Beneath the swaying trees
F                                          G-Am
now the people call them ….refugees

Bridge

G
Been a long time passing, don’t know what will happen
Am
They might get there, crawling on their knees
G
Been a lot of trouble, the world is in a mess
Am                                G
Maybe we can cure this social disease



Am
Sailing on the ocean
Em
We need some solution
G                                               F
Something that can help these, people please
Am
Will it ever happen
Em
Stop the fighting
F                                                G-Am
Until then there'll just be more refugees  x3

Pretty cool Graham

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Graham     Well Done !!!      Music is such a great venue for social statements - and yours is a terrific statement!  Nice song about tragic topic.   
Reminds us all to be thankful not to have such an experience, and to stand up for those that are experiencing it.
This is a great passage from a great social justice warrior :

"You may be 38 years old as I happen to be, and one day some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause--and you refuse to do it because you are afraid; you refuse to do it because you want to live longer; you're afraid that you will lose your job, or you're afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity or you're afraid that somebody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house, and so you refuse to take the stand. Well you may go on and live until you are 90, but you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90! And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit. You died when you refused to stand up for right, you died when you refused to stand up for truth, you died when you refused to stand up for justice." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr., November 1967

Keep on rocking Graham! Thanks for the message

Jim
