I'm sitting around at the checkpoint

She is young, she is fun, she is dea-----dly

She clocks off, goes back to the ci-----ty
Abdim F#dim Edim F#dim Edim Ebdim Em
Goes to a club with her friends

(then next verse goes as first)
I just took a walk through the checkpoint
Past columns of poor Arab sons
They queue through the day for a chance to make pay
For something to put in their mouths
He can't sleep at night without gunfire
The lullaby puts him to sleep

Everyone meets in the cramped city streets
Hipsters of Zion collide
To talk music and dross
At the sign of The Cross

We eat our falafel in peace
