[Em] In the past two hours we have learned that another Briton has been kidnapped in Beirut.
He is John McCarthy, a 29-year-old journalist with [E] Worldwide Television News in London.
He was on his way to the International Airport in Beirut to return home
when the car in which he was riding was intercepted by armed gunmen.
We'd like to help you, the consul [G] said, there's nothing we [D] can do.
[E] When you knew the risks when you took the [G] job after all you're [D] not a fool
[E] So, call me, don't [G] call me I just can't [D] bear the rules
[E] Keep your chin up right now it's [G] tough somehow you'll get through
[C] It [G] seems the Americans [D] have [E] rescued
[C] But you get [G] caught in the left and right [D] under the [B] bed, under the [E] bed
[D] Sorry [B] son, there's nothing [E] we can do
[D] Keep the [B] rules, you haven't [Em] got a clue
You can't conceive of forgiveness, [G] terror is a sin

[E] So, don't [G] call me, I'll do it [D] all I can
[Em] Oh, but it seems from the way he's [G] sitting I don't give a damn
