Intro:
F-G-C-Am-F-G-C
I
(F)watched it on the (G)TV and I (F)couldn’t under(Am)stand
(C)Ten
forgotten (G)heroes were been (F)honoured in our (G)land
For
(F)eighty years they’d (G)been ignored in the (C)land for which they (Am)died
When
it (F)suited poli(G)ticians to (C)beam (???) in borrowed (Am)pride.
Chorus:
(F)Ten forgotten (G)men are (C)honoured once ag(Am)ain
And (F)stand alongside (G)Pearse and Conno(Am)lly
When a (F)hundret years are (G)gone their (C)memory will live (Am)on
In a (F)land that stands un(G)ited and (C)free.
At
the (Am)barricades in (G)Sackville Street (F)brave men fought and (Am)died
From
the (C)ashes of the (G)GPO our (F)heroes rose with (G)pride
In
(F)Sixty-Six their (G)memory was in(C)flamed (???) throughout the (Am)land
What
(F)happened these last (G)thirty years was (C)hard to under(Am)stand.
Chorus
There
was (Am)thousands throng the (G)Dublin streets, ten (F)coffins moved a(Am)long
And
my (C)mind goes back to (G)Bobby Sands and the (F)men of Eighty-(G)One
Where
(F)were these poli(G)ticians to speak (C)out for ten brave (Am)men
Can’t
they (F)see it’s just hyp(G)ocrisy to (C)say they’re not (Am)???
Chorus
twice
