INTRO: Em G C Em G C
EmC
Listen closely, May
EmCD
This phone may not be safe
C
I have been betrayed
DC
And I must leave today
EmC
Where, I cannot say
EmC
Somewhere far away
DC
Maybe to the States
DC
Where no one knows my face
CHORUS:
G
So May, take care of the kids
D
Tell them I love them
C
I'll send a few quid when I can
G
I know, this is no kind of life
D
But you've got to be strong
CCm
When you're a fugitive's wife
EmC
I'm calling from some booth
EmC
And no, I can't come home
DC
This is not goodbye
DC
I love you more than life
CHORUS:
G
So May, take care of the kids
D
Tell them I love them
C
I'll send a few quid when I can
G
I know, this is no kind of life
D
But you've got to be strong
CEm
When you're a fugitive's wife
Something is not right
CD
The streets are much too quiet
C
The shops all locked up tight
DC
There's not one soul in sight
CHORUS:
G
And May, take care of the kids
D
Tell them I love them
C
I'll send a few quid when I can
G
I know, this is no kind of life
D
But you've got to be strong
C
When you're a fugitive's wife
G
And May, they've got me in sight
There's at least twenty-five
It's down to a fight or a flight
May
