Run Refugees, Run

Garrett Clevenger
Em Bm Em Bm A knock on my door. Who
could it be?
Em Bm I get up and look through
the peephole.
Em Bm Em Bm Oh Mercy me! What's
this I see?
Em Bm Em Some refugees fleeing
war.
Em Bm Em Bm What should I do? Do
I open the door?
Em Bm Let them invade
my home?
Em Bm Em Bm They look so dirty. There's
way too many.
Em Bm Em Then I imagine their
horror.
Chorus:
D Em Run refugees, run.
C G D
From the bombs and
the barrel of a gun.
Em C G D Em Bm Em You
just run, run refugees, run.
Em Bm Em Bm I do what is right. I
turn on the light.
Em Bm I let them see I'm
friendly.
Em Bm Em Bm I woman grabs my hand. Implores me to
lend.
Em Bm Em I can't help but
feel sorry.
Em Bm Em Bm She lost her baby three
days ago
Em Bm But she still carries
him.
Em Bm Em Bm She just wants a place so
he could have a grave.
Em Bm Em I've never felt
so grim.
{chorus}
Jam through verse
Em Bm Em Bm In a matter of time the
whole human race
Em Bm is forced to be on
the run.
Em Bm Em Bm There is no place to go. We
gotta leave our home,
Em Bm Em the planet we made sure was
done.
Em Bm Em Bm My family and I, on
a spaceship we fly,
Em Bm hoping a new planet we'll
find.
Em Bm Em Bm When we reach that goal we
find it's colonized
Em Bm Em by creatures who've fled their
own bad times.
{chorus}
Jam through end of chorus:
Em C G D We run.
Repeat
Em Bm Em
