Karan Casey - The World Looks Away

      Karan Casey - The World Looks Away


Capo 1



[Intro]
Am   D   Am   D
Am   D   Am   D

[Verse 1]
  Am               D
I woke up from the dream
   Am              D
To find it all the same
    Am             D
The pain was still here
        Am            D
And the world looked away
    Am            D
The world looked away
    Am            D
The world looked away
    Am            D    Am  D
The world looked away

[Verse 2]
Am        D
Palestine burns
    Am             D
The curfew lingers on
  Am        D
Invasion by night
    Am        D
Occupation by dawn
        Am           D
And the world looks away
    Am           D
The world looks away
    Am           D    Am  D
The world looks away

[Chorus]
F   G              D       Am
Refugees, set your spirits free
          F      G        D
Rise your souls above the dust
   F    G          D         Am
An F-Sixteen won't bring you down
              F         G    D
Nor take your land from your heart

[Instrumental]
Am   D   Am   D
Am   D   Am   D

[Verse 3]
Am         D
Child of Jenin
     Am                    D
Your strength must get you through
     Am                 D
They took your brothers once
    Am                      D
And soon they will come for you
        Am               D
And the world will look away
    Am               D
The world will look away
    Am               D    Am  D
The world will look away

[Chorus]
F   G              D       Am
Refugees, set your spirits free
          F      G        D
Rise your souls above the dust
   F    G          D         Am
An F-Sixteen won't bring you down
              F         G    D      Am  D
Nor take your land from your heart

[Outro]
        Am               D    Am  D
And the world will look away
    Am           D    Am  D
The world looks away
Am        D
Palestine burns
        Am           D
And the world looks away
    Am           D
The world looks away
