Intro: Em A Em A  
 
 
Em               A 
They are chasing me 
            C         D       Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
                    A 
But they won't find me 
            C         D       Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
              A 
I walk the streets  
            C          D      Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
               A 
Everybody is blind 
            C         D       Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
 
           A 
I meet my girl 
                              Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
                  A 
She seems to love me less 
                              Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
         A 
Machine-gun 
            C         D       Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day 
                     A               
They killed some one else 
            C         D       Em 
In the hot sun of a Christmas day
