In Tiananmen Square, Lost my baby there
G Em7
My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes

She was a short order pastry chef
Cadd9 A7
In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway
Cadd9 G/B
She had shiny hair

She was the daughter of an engineer
G Em7
Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose
G Em7
My yellow rose, In her bloodstained clothes

She had perfect breasts, She had high hopes

She had almond eyes, She had yellow thighs

She was a student of philosophy

Won't you grieve with me, for my yellow rose,

Shed a tear, For her bloodstained clothes

So get out your pistols, Get out your stones
G C
Get out your knives, Cut them to the bone
G G/F# Em7
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
G C
They built the dark satanic mills
G C
That manufacture hell on earth
G G/F# Em7
They bought the front row seats on Calvary
C D
They are irrelevant to me
**D **Ddim5
And I grieve for my sister
People of China
Do not forget do not forget
The children who died for you
Long live the Republic
Did we do anything after this
I've a feeling we did
G Em7
We were watching TV, Watching TV

She wore a white bandanna that said 'Freedom now'

She thought the Great Wall of China

Would come tumbling down

She was a student

Her father was an engineer

Won't you shed a tear, For my yellow rose

Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek

That no-good low-down dirty rat

Who used to order his troops

To fire on the women and children
Imagine that imagine that

Mao Tse-tung got quite irate

Out of the state of China

Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa

And she is different from Cro-Magnon man
