SANDS OF SUDAN - THE DUBLINERS
D A G D
There's a withering child on the sands of Sudan
D F#m G A7
His body's too weak to hold out his hand
D A G D
And beg for the bread that he might get today
D A7 D
For the bird in the sky from the West's on its way
A7 D G D
He looks up with anguish and grieve in his face
D G D A7
The first world is coming, but coming too late
D A G D
His young sister's body lies dead in the sand
D A7 D D4 D
As the bird from the West drops it's load on the land
D A G D
The vultures looked down from an African sky
D F#m G A7
On one living hell as they wait for their prey
D A G D
The hardship and suff'ring too great to believe
D A7 D
These poor hungry people they need some relief
A7 D G D
The West's anxious faces look on in despair
D G D A7
From the comfort of home where we lounge in a chair
D A G D
And shed a few tears for the victims that die
D A7 D D4 D
On video-screens that we've saved up to buy
D A G D
So what is more cruel, is it nature or men
D F#m G A7
As thousands more perish on the sand of Sudan
D A G D
And what price to pay for a small bag of grain
D A7 D
That the West throws away for its profit and gain
D A G D
There's a withering child on the sands of Sudan
D F#m G A7
His body's too weak to hold out his hand
D A G D
And beg for the bread that he might get today
D A7 D
For the bird in the sky from the west is on its way
