Oh (C)I.R.A. and (Am)U.V.F. this (F)song is just for (C)you

It (C)took so long to (G)realize our (F)dreams were (G)all the (C)same –C-C

We (C)felt the taste of (Am)hunger when they (F)factory went a(C)way

And then they closed the (Am)hospital they (F)said it didn’t (G)pay

(C)All we got were (G)promises and (F)coloured (G)flags to (C)fly –C-C

 

I re(C)member well your (Am)little girl she had (F)ribbons in her (C)hair

When she came to play that (Am)Summer’s day with the (F)children in the (G)square
