We'd like to help you, the consul said
B D
But there's nothing we can do
E
Well, you knew the risks when you took the job
B D
After all you're not a fool
E
So, don't call me, don't call me
B D
I just can't bend the rules
E
Keep your chin up, I know it's tough
B D
Somehow you'll get through."
E B D
It seems the Americans bargain and rescue
E
But if you get caught you're left to rot
B D
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon
(Refr:)
E
Under a Beirut Moon
D D
Sorry son, there's nothing we can do
E
Under a Beirut Moon
D D
Different rules, we haven't got a clue
E
We can't be seen to be giving in
B D
To these terrorists you see
E
If we talk with them it would mean the end
B D
Of all that we hold dear
E
So don't call me, don't call me
B D
I'm doing all I can
E
Although it seems from where you sit
B D
I don't give a damn."
E B D
Back home they'll remember you in papers, on TV
E
Because when you're caught you're left to rot
B D
Under a Beirut, under a Beirut Moon

Under a Beirut Moon

Sorry son, there's nothing we can do

Different rules, we haven't got a clue

Now just today on the news I saw

A hostage walking free

He talked of how it came about
B D
He gained his liberty

He said, don't give up, don't give up
B D
Argue, beg and plead
E
Keep the pressure up, don't let it drop
B D
Somehow you'll get free
E B D
He said the Americans would bargain and rescue
E
But when Brits get caught they're left to rot
B D
Under a Beirut, under the Beirut Moon
