one thing to note beforehand is that in the song the G & E minor chords are linked
by two notes; G & F#. this link should be played as follows:

e|---3-------0---
b|---3-------0---
g|---0-------0--- and so on. this is the case every time these two chords
d|---0-------2--- are played together. let the G chord ring on as you
a|---2-------2--- fret the two notes, and play them strongly.
e|---3--3-2--0---

[G] pushing through the market square
[Em] so many mothers sighing
[Am] news had just come over, we have
[C] Five years left of crying

[G] news guy wept and told us
he said [Em]earth, was really dying
[Am] cried so much his face was wet
then i knew[C] , he was not lying

i heard t[G]elephones, opera house, favourite melodies
there were [Em]boys toys, electric guns and TVs
m[C]y brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
i had to [Am]cram so many things to store everything in there
and all the fat[C] , skinny people
[Am] and all the tall short[C] , people
[Am] and all the nobody peo[G]ple
[C] and all the somebody peo[D]ple
never thought i'd need, so many [Am]people [C]

[G] girl my age went off her head
[Em] hit some tiny children
[Am] and if the black hadn't have pulled her off
then i t[C]hink, she would have killed them

[G] soldier with a broken arm
[Em] used to stare into the wheels of a cadillac
[Am] cop knelt to kiss the feet of a priest
and a q[C]ueer threw up at the sight of that, well

[G] think i saw you in an ice-cream parlour
[Em] drinking milkshakes cold and long
[Am]smiling and waving and looking so fine
[C] don't think you knew you were in this song

[G]and it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
[Em]and i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
[Am]your face, your waist, the way that you talk
[C] i miss you you're beautiful

[G] we got five years stuck on my eyes
[Em] five years, what a surprise, we got
[Am] five years, my brain hurts alot
[C] five years, that's all we got
G (ending chords are Gs)
we got, five years
