Song of Bangladesh Joan Baez
Bangladesh/ Joan Baez
Bang[Am]ladesh, Ba[E]ngladesh,[C] Banglades[G]h, Bangladesh.
When the[F] sun sinks i[C]n the west, die [G]a million peopl[Am]e of the Bangladesh.
The [Am]story of Ba[E]ngladesh i[C]s an ancient one, [G]again made fresh
[E] Am [F] E (B [C]string:B,D,C,B)[G]
which say ,to sacrifice a people for a land.
Chorus: Bangladesh...
Once again, we stand aside and watch the families crucified,
see a teenage mother's vacant eyes as she watches her feeble baby try
to fight the monsoon rains and cholera flies.
And the students at the university, asleep at night quite peacefully;
the soldiers came and shot them in their beds,
and terror took the dawn awakening shrieks of dread,
and silent frozen forms, and pillows drenched in red.
Chorus: Bangladesh...
Did you read about the army officer's plea, the donors' blood was-it given willingly,
no time to comprehend, and there was little pain.
And so the story of Bangladesh is an ancient one, again made fresh,
which say to sacrifice a people for a land.
chorus: Bangladesh...
