Food for Thought - UB40

Ivory Madonna - Dying in the dust [Ho-

Waiting for the manna              ok]

Coming from the west

Barren is her bosom       [Intro] (x2)

Empty as her eyes           Dm Dm A A7

Death a certain harvest     C  C  G G7

Scattered from the skies

                               [Intro]

Skin and bones is creeping

Doesn't know he's dead

Ancient eyes are peeping

From his infant head

Politicians argue

Sharpening their knives

Drawing up their bargains

Trading baby lives              [Hook]

                               [Intro]

Hear, the bells are ringing

Christmas' on its way

Hear the angels singing

What is that they say

Eat and drink rejoicing

Joy is here to stay

Jesus, son of Mary         [Hook] (x2)

Is born again today       [Intro] (x3)
