Intro: A7-A-A7-A-D-D
You (D)people of Ireland u(Em)pon you I call,
We (A)stand in the north with our (D)backs
to the wall.
By the (G)foe we're surrounded now (D)you must de(Bm)cide
For (E)Margaret (E7)Thatcher wants (A)you on
her (A7)side.
You can (D)Judge British Justice by (Em)what's gone before
-The (A)Birmingham Six and the (D)Guilford
Four,
(G)13 men in Derry, in the (D)H-Blocks ten (Bm)more
Will you (E)let Extra(E7)dition in(A7)crease (A)England's
(D)score?
Chorus
(G)Don't hand them over, don't (D)play Thatcher's (Bm)game
The (E)word extra(E7)dition should
(A)fill you with (A7)shame
If you're (G)proud to be Irish then live (D)up to the (Bm)name
(E)Don't hand them (E7)over
to be (A7)tor(A)tured and (D)slain.
Repeat Intro
Don't (D)cry pious tears for the (Em)plight of the north
While
your(A) troops man the border to su(D)pport British force
You (G)can't have it both ways you (D)must make a (Bm)stand
You
(E)can't honor (E7)Connoland (A)sell out his (A7)land
Re(D)member those butchers who (Em)struck at
Loughall
Are the (A)very same men who put (D)Pearse against the wall
There are (G)few enough left to de(D)fend Ireland's
(Bm)cause
Will (E)you extra(E7)dite them to (A7)face foul (A)foreign (D)laws.
Chorus + Intro
The (D)whole
world now knows of Bri(Em)tannia's shame
How (A)brave Sean and Danny in Gi(D)braltar were slain
And (G)young McAnespion
the (D)border shot (Bm)down
As he (E)innocently (E7)walked to his (A)own Gaelic (A7)ground
So (D)south of the border
let your (Em)voices ring clear
Lest (A)your politicians should (D)turn a deaf ear
It's (G)you who have the power, in
(D)your name they (Bm)stand
It's (E)you who will (E7)have Irish (A7)blood (A)on your (D)hands.
