The Kids : Lou Reed : Berlin (?) and 'Between Thought and Expression'
It's looks much worse than it is, and when you really hit those chords HARD, with single strokes, it's very powerful. Have your kids join in at the appropriate point :-)

Aix Gvii D Ds4 D They've taken her children away
Because they said she was not a good mother
Aix Gvii D Ds4 D They've taken her children away
Because she was making it with sisters and brothers
And everyone else, all of the others
Like cheap officers who would
As4 ^^^^(these variations this verse only) Stand there and flirt in front of me
Aix Gvii D Ds4 D
Aix Gvii D Ds4 D
They've taken her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They've taken her children away Because of the things that they said she had done The black air-force sergeant was not the first one and All of the drugs she took
Every one, every one
[Chorus]
A A9hA A9hA And I am the water boy
The real game's not over here
But my heart is overflowing, anyw - a - y
A A9hA A9hA I'm just the tired man
No words to say, But
G A A9hA Since she lost her daughter It's her
G A A9hA Eyes that fill with water And
I am much happier this
Aix Gvii D Ds4 D Way
Aix Gvii D Ds4 D
They're taking her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away Because number one was the girlfriend from Paris The things that they did they didn't have to ask us And then the Welshmen from India, we came here to stay
They're taking her children away Because they said she was not a good mother They're taking her children away Because of the things she did in the streets In the alleys and bars no she couldn't be beat That miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away

then suddenly, in ringing acoustic guita
