Ub40 - Food For Thought

these are the chords i play all the way through – they seem to fit just fine

Am – E/E7 – G – D ( D7 )

ivory madonna dying in the dust ,
waiting for the manna coming from the west .
barren is her bosom , empty as her eyes ,
death a certain harvest scattered from the skies .

skin and bones is creeping , doesn’t know he’s dead .
ancient eyes are peeping , from his infant head .
politician’s argue sharpening their knives .
drawing up their bargains , trading baby lives .

ivory madonna dying in the dust ,
waiting for the manna coming from the west .

hear the bells are ringing , christmas on it’s way .
hear the angels singing , what is that they say?
eat and drink rejoicing , joy is here to stay .
jesus son of mary is born again today .

ivory madonna dying in the dust ,
waiting for the manna coming from the west .
ivory madonna dying in the dust ,
waiting for the manna coming from the west .

enjoy !!
