Intro: Em   G  C   Em  G  C    

Em                  C 
Listen closely, May 
     Em               C       D 
This phone may not be safe 
              C 
I have been betrayed 
    D           C 
And I must leave today 


Em              C 
Where, I cannot say 
Em             C 
Somewhere far away 
D            C 
Maybe to the States 
      D           C 
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 
             C                Em    G  C   Em   G  C 
When you're a fugitive's wife 


    Em                C 
I'm calling from some booth 
    Em              C 
And no, I can't come home 
D               C 
This is not goodbye 
  D            C 
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 
             C                Em    G  C   Em   G  C   Em 
When you're a fugitive's wife 



Something is not right 
                         C       D 
The streets are much too quiet 
                    C 
The shops all locked up tight 
        D           C 
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
