Intro
Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am D G G/F# Em 
Verse
AmWe've watched them Fmaj7leaving, Amseen their ragged Fmaj7flight
AmChildren of the Djungle, moGthers G/F#of the night Em 
DA boy of ten by the roadAmside lies
GHearG/F#s his future in whispers and Emcries
DAnd clutching a tiny Buddha Amcharm
GA baG/F#by dies in his mother's arms Em 
Chorus
CIs there only sorrow in Em / E(sus4)Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia?
Verse
AmLeaving the graves of your anFmaj7cestors afAmter a thousand Fmaj7years
AmLeaving a few belonDgings Gafter G/F#a thouEmsand tears
DHow come you never Amleft before Gthrough G/F#bombing, faEmmine and flood?
DAre the rivers uAmseless now Gspilling G/F#over Emwith blood?
Chorus
CIs there only sorrow in Em / E(sus4)Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow no tomorrow in Cambodia?
Verse
CI hear there are very Emfew Cchildren from ages Emone to five
It Ctakes more than Amjungle leaves to Amkeep the young ones aDlive
I hear Dsome of the rice Amgot through Gthe G/F#outside's trying Emto send to you
There Dyou sit in the Amruins of Gwar, the G/F#doctors are knocking Emat your door
Chorus
CIs there only sorrow in Em / E(sus4)Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia?
Still we will try and feed you, try and go to you
People of Kampuchea, Cambodia
Verse
AmCall another confeFmaj7rence, Amwrite another song Fmaj7 
AmDeliver another ton Dof rice and Ghope it G/F#gets Emwhere it belongs
DAnd rival teams Amof bandits Gwill G/F#be the Emonly choice
DEven if the people had their belAmlies filled, Gand even G/F#if the Empeople had a voice
Bridge
And meanwhile, Amlovers are caught in Fmaj7the crossfire Am 
Children are caught in the Fmaj7barbed wire
AmMilitary sinks in the Dmire
Let Gme G/F#show it Emto you
Chorus
CIs there only sorrow, Em / E(sus4)only sorrow in Cambodia?
Is there no tomorrow, no tomorrow in Cambodia?
Still we'll try and feed you, try and show to you
People of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia
